Thanks

Your child wrote a letter that explains it but it didn’t give the address of our school. If someone sends one back to you just have your child bring it to school. Thanks1
Language Arts: We will begin a study of fables. The students will be
reading and sharing the moral of the stories. We are reviewing how to make
words past tense by adding –ed. We discussed the different sounds used to make
the words past tense. Students will revisit opinion writing. We will review
what an opinion is and how to make a fact into an opinion and an opinion into a
fact. For example, I lived in a two story house is a fact. Two story houses are the best kind of
house to live is an opinion. The students will write an opinion about the best
gift they have received.
Mathematics: We will be working on
chapter 7 in math on metric measurement. Please see the Home School Letter
about this chapter in your Spring Street folder. This chapter reviews addition
and subtraction with regrouping along with word problems and using bar models to
support our understanding of the problem.
Social Studies: We will read and discuss Martin Luther King, Jr. in our
Scholastic News. We will use a map of North America to identify our countries
boundaries.
