Word Study:
This week in word study, we reviewed homophones (focusing on the words there, their, and they're). We also continued to explore and identify multiple meaning words (homographs) like bow and deck. You may want to have your child give you more examples of homographs! Additionally we continued identifying abbreviations, and their meanings.
Social Studies/Science
Mathematics
Reminder: If you would like your child to have extra math fact practice, please let me know and I will send Otter Creek practice sheets with a page protector cover. These sheets are for practice with a dry erase marker. Have your child practice one minute timings using the bottom portion of the sheet. The top portion is for practice. If you would like practice sheets for your child, please email me and I will be glad to send the sheets.
