A Note From Mrs. Waters
Next week the students will be taking the Gates test for reading. Please make sure that your child is getting plenty of rest, is eating breakfast and has a healthy snack and lunch.
We have started the ABC countdown to the end of the year. Please be sure to check the calendar daily in case your child needs to wear something or bring something in to school that day.
Next week is the last week of ASAs (After School Activities).
Reading
Students will find and discuss the important parts of the books they are reading, and they will work on visualizing what they read.
Writing
Students will be using transition words in their small moment writing to show order. They will also work on using speech bubbles in their writing.
Math
Students will work on adding and subtracting multiples of 10 from multiples of 10 up to 100 (54+20=74).
Social Studies
Students will learn about how tools help community workers.
