Math - We are working on two and three digit subtraction with borrowing. We are also working on solving word problems with addition (with regrouping) and subtraction (with borrowing).
Reading - We are back to working with fiction books this quarter. We have been practicing making inferences, asking questions before, during and after reading, and making connections to what we are reading. Types of connections: text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world.
Writing - The students have been really working hard during writer's workshop. They made a story board, wrote a rough draft, edited, revised, and are now working on their final drafts and illustrations! Wow... what great stories!
Science - We are studying "states of matter." We have been experimenting with water evaporation, mixing solids and liquids, and making predictions and conducting experiments just like scientists do!
Phonics - We are working on learning vowel teams (oa, oe, ow). Make sure your child is studying his/her spelling words because these go along with our phonics units.
S.S. - our next unit will be Economics (consumers and producers).
