We had a great week filled with lots of learning and for the first time, each student wrote his/her own story extension. Didn't you love reading the continued adventures of Jasper and his beanstalk? I was so impressed at their ability to write a story complete with a beginning, middle, and end.

We will focus on evaluating the stories we read looking at the topic, main idea, and details. We will also practice summarizing the stories we read.

In math this week, we will be start learning the concept of subtraction using Chapter 6. Now you can add subtraction flashcards to your daily home support with your child. 

We will continue our lessons in nutrition. The class is really starting to notice what they are eating and understanding how they can make better choices. We will start our unit about seasons too. Enjoy reading non fiction books at home about seasons too.

Remember next week is Conference Week so each day the students will be dismissed at 12:20. If you forgot your child's conference time please shoot me an email and ask.

Next week is our Rio Book Fair so please take the time to drop by the library and see the wonderful books that are for sale.
