Dear Parents,
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.
In communication arts, we continue to work in guided reading groups. We are studying main idea and supporting details, cause and effect, fact and opinion, and sequencing of events. Please encourage your students to read every night for 20 minutes! In writing students we are working on a unit of poetry. It will include different types of poems such as couplets, limericks and acrostic poems.
In science, we are finishing up or unit about Earth’s changing surface. As we finish up we will be learning about matter and its properties. Students will learn about the how physical properties can be used to describe matter, and mixtures and solutions. We will also be learning about the changes of matter.
We will be going on two field trips to the Art Museum this month! As always feel free to contact me with any questions. Your support is always appreciated!
Thanks,
Miss Zelle
