March 13 - 17, 2017

Stay safe in the winter storm/blizzard. It is a great opportunity for the boys and girls to get a lot of reading minutes for our contest!

Homework: The math packet is due on Friday. The Spring Street School Reading Incentive Clocks are due on Friday. We will not be completing our classroom reading log while we are doing the reading incentive. Check in with your child’s clocks to make sure it is being recorded accurately.
Language Arts/Science: We are finishing up our storm writing and project. We will be sharing with our grade level peers soon. We will be working with oa words this week in our word work. We will be ending trimester 2 with a few assessments. We will be looking closely at what makes a sentence and how to expand our sentences to be more descriptive.
Mathematics: We will be doing a problem solving and a math review assessment. We will begin chapter 12 on Fractions. Please see the School to Home Connections sheet that was sent home along with the Chapter Wrap-up paper for information.
Ways you can help at home: Continue to read and discuss the story. Talk about the big idea. Talk about writing ideas for an informative piece. Try stretching sentences out together using descriptive words. Use questions words to help your child expand: who, what, when, where, how, why. Continue to review money skills.
Writing Journals: Please enjoy your child’s journal and make sure it comes back for Wednesday.

Sign and return your child’s Friday Reflection.
Spring Street School’s Fun Fair is this Sunday 12:00-4:00! I hope to see you there.
