What We Are Learning

Reading: Students will continue to interact with nonfiction texts as they learn to focus on what is most important in what they read.  They will learn to summarize the important facts in a text.

Phonics: The students will review phonogram cards and identify them in our old spelling words.  Five words will be introduced each day. Study every night.

Writing: Writing will be integrated with science this week.  We will begin doing research and filling out a graphic organizer to help us create nonfiction writing, as paragraphs and essays.

Math: This week we will finish up our unit on measurement, specifically comparing two measurements. Then we will move into a unit on adding/subtracting 2 and 3 digit numbers. There will be a test on this skill next week. 

Science: As we move ahead in our animal unit, students will be learning about reptiles and amphibians. We will also begin learning about distinct habitats on Earth as well as life cycles of animals. Continue to work on your animal project!
