In Science, we will continue our study of natural resources (SOL 1.8). We'll be learning about how plants, animals, air, land, minerals, forests, and soil are all natural resources and how they need to be conserved.
Our math focus this week will be word problems (SOL 1.6). Students are doing a GREAT job with this so far and working to go through the steps: 1) Read and identify clue words that help us figure out which operation to do 2) Draw it out 3) Write the number sentence 4) Solve and check (and circle final answer).
Can you believe we are half way through the school year already?? Since it's the start of a new quarter, I have set new AR goals for each student. I will be placing these in the front cover of your child's agenda again. Remember, students are expected to be reading every night, then taking an AR test on the book the following morning (unless they're reading a chapter book). The children are able to exchange books every morning until 9:05.
Report cards come home next Tuesday. You can keep the report card at home; just sign and return the report card envelope.
