Look at what we're learning!

This week's Literacy Place story is Your Dad Was Just Lik You . It is a realistic fiction story to whichkids can easily relate.  As we read, we will pay special attention to the things the characters say and do to figure ut the theme

Grammar

Our grammar focus this week is sentences.

Spelling

Spelling words this week are long and short /o/ words.. 

I sent home a spelling contract this week.  The contract allows students to select their homework each evening.  Selected activities must add up to 100 points by Friday.

Math

We are discussing and exploring estimating quantities; next we will move on to addition.

Science

We are watching our potatoes that we handled with clean or dirty hands to see which one grow the most "stuff" the quickest.

We are discussing how changes in technology affect the lives of the people.
