Newsletter 3-4-17

This week we read a Mayan myth, The Night the Moon Fell, and we worked on theme and multiple meaning words.  Our awesome art teacher used the beautiful illustrations from the story to have the students practice using warm and cool colors.  We are also practicing adverbs and adjectives.

We just finished topic 9 in math, Understanding Numbers to 1,000.  We had fun playing all sorts of place value games to practice.  We will begin adding three-digit numbers on Monday.



Since reading The Life Cycle of a Pumpkin, we have been studying plants in science.  Students did a great job getting plant information from the nearpod program on their computers and writing it in their interactive notebooks.


  
It was wonderful meeting with all of you for parent-teacher conferences and celebrating your child’s successes.  We have a terrific class, and we have made so much progress this year!

Congratulations to Bennett for earning our friendship award!



Brox met the 20-Book Challenge.  Way to go!  Remember to keep working on it so that your child can have it done by the end of the year.


Congratulations to Ella, Aliya, and Sam for passing off a level and being Lexia Superstars!


Please remind your children to bring their signed planners every day.  Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  Have a great week!
