Dear Parents/Guardians,
In math students are learning about multiplication and division. It is essential that students memorize their math facts in order to be successful in two by three digit multiplication and long division. We will begin learning two by one, and two by two multiplication next week.
In communication arts, we continue to work in guided reading groups. We are studying fact and opinion currently. We will be learning about comparing and contrasting, using context clues, and sequencing of events in the upcoming weeks. We are also going to begin working on constructed response questions. Please encourage your students to read every night for 20 minutes! In writing students just finished up their unit on poetry, and we will begin working on letter writing and constructed response questions.
In science, we are learning about matter and its properties, and the changes in matter. We are going to be learning about the properties of matter, mixtures and solutions, what matter is made of, the physical changes of matter, and how matter reacts chemically.
As always, thank you for your continued support! Feel free to contact me with any questions!
Miss Zelle
