3/25

Hello Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend despite our sad loss. However I think it is great they even made it!
This week in the classroom:

We will continue our novel study, My Father's Dragon. This week's comprehension skills are problem and solution, cause and effect, and sequencing! Students will also interact with many vocabulary words in the text. This week's spelling skill is the /f/ sound spelled pg, and gh. We will continue learning about adverbs. An adverb is a word that describes or tells more about a verb.
Can you think of an adverb?

In unit study students will explore biomes! We will have an interactive study with aquatic biomes! The students will make a book of all the interesting biomes around the world!
In math this week we'll continue money! Look for ways to have your child interact with money at home. Have them earn, count, and spend!
