Reading  and Science Students began their shared research project on habitats. They are becoming familiar with text features, and learning to navigate and locate information within text. They researched and took notes on two habitats. Next week they will begin writing their rough drafts which will include an introduction, the body, a conclusion and text features of their choice.

Our caterpillars arrived on Wednesday. We are anxiously watching and journaling about their day to day growth.

We had our March READING CELEBRATION on Thursday. We celebrated with lunch in the classroom, a Magic School Bus Video, In the Rainforest, and popsicles. Students were also given a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. This was the last one for the year. Way to go readers!

Reading Logs Continue to read for 20 minutes each night and record your books in the April Log. 

Language Arts    

Spelling New word sorts went home on Wednesday. Students should be completing a spelling activity each night. 

Math  We will continue Topic 15, Measuring Length. Students will estimate and measure the lengths and heights of objects using different units, use addition and subtraction to solve measurement problems, measure to compare lengths of objects, and use objects to measure items that are not straight. An assessment on Topic 15 will be given at the end of the week.

Math Facts Math facts should be reviewed daily.
