Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s),
Thanks again for your continued support!
Here's what the children will be learning next week:
Math — The class will be able to solve put together and take apart addition and subtraction word problems.
Reading — Students will be able to determine reasons provided by the author to support points in a text. Students will also ask and answer questions about informational texts. The informational books are centered on the topic of the ocean.
Writing — Students will differentiate between a fact and an opinion. They will begin to write an opinion piece by sharing their opinion and providing supporting reasons.
Science — We will identify and describe natural features of the ocean floor.
Social Studies — Students will be able to describe rules for taking medicine safely.
Spelling — Our focus will be on words that have an oo. Examples include mood and hoop.
