WHAT WE ARE LEARNING THIS WEEK: 

MATH :  We will take an assessment over temperature, time and patterns on Monday and then we are moving into multiplication. They always love this. Homework for Monday  will be to identify things that come in groups . For Example : eggs  12  . Wednesday will be a sheet on equal groups .

Science : We will continue to look at and identify forms of energy in our daily lives . 

 Reading : This week our focus will be main idea and cause and effect. Homework on Tuesday will deal with main idea  ( I always say main idea is the house and the supporting details are what hold the house up. If you pick something as the main idea and there are no other details to support it  then you have picked the wrong one) Thursday homework will be cause and effect. 

 Writing : We are continuing with our non fiction piece based on our animal research. Students selected their animal, generated questions and are now creating their own piece of writing with at least 6 text features .

Social  Studies: We will be looking at National, State and Local Government . Who are the officials at each level, are they elected or appointed and what are their duties. 

 Should be another exciting week . Thank you so much for the opportunity to teach your child.
