Reading and Language Arts When we come back from break we will have a writing workshop. We will be discussing informational writing. Students will be writing about the animal they researched that lives in the rain forest.

Reading Logs  Please continue to log minutes with your child in their March reading log. Logs are due Monday, April 7th.

Ozzie's Reading Club  All students are official members of the Ozzie Reading Club. If they continue to read and log their minutes for the next 8 weeks they will receive a ticket to the Kane County Cougars minor league baseball game. Make sure to send in the log when it is complete.

Spelling  Look for your child's word sort to come home on Monday, April 7th. Students should choose a different activity from the Weekly Spelling Activity Card to complete each night to help them master their spelling words for the week. Once your child has completed the activity, please fill out the spelling homework sheet, indicating which activity they chose, initial it, and have them return it the following day. This will help them prepare for the assessment. Students will study these words for 2 weeks. An assessment will not be given until Thurs, April 17th.

Math Students will continue the chapter on Time. They will describe times of events as A.M. or P.M., determine how time has passed from start to finish, practice telling time to the nearest 5 minutes, and understand relationships of units of time (weeks, months, years).

Flash Cards  Students should be practicing their addition facts with their flash cards and Rocket Math fact sheets. Weekly timed tests are given.

Here is a website where you can make fact timed tests:

Science  We began a unit on the Rain Forest. The students played a game which introduced them to words that will be used in our discussions of the rain forest. We also identified and labeled the different parts of a map and where most of the rain forests are located. Next we will discuss what a rain forest is and identify the different layers.
