THIS WEEK
IN LITERACY & SOCIAL STUDIES:
- Reading: Students will work on identifying main ideas in complex texts, as well as using context clues to make meaning from what they read.

SCIENCE:

HOMEWORK:
- Monthly Reading and Math Logs: Students are being asked to keep a log of how many nights they read and work on Math throughout the month of March. They will turn these in on April 1st. Don't forget to log pages read and time spent on math.
- Students will most always have math homework every night through the week, Fridays and weekends off.
