This Weeks Focus
In ELA we will be working on vowel diagraphs oi and oy (2 vowels together that make 1 sound). We will continue to work on our reading fluency and comprehension.
In math, students will identify three-dimensional solids and describe their attributes using formal geometric language.
In science, we will begin our study of Life Cycles. The students will identify different stages of an animal's life cycle, focusing on life cycles that start with an egg. Our chicken eggs are in the incubator and we are just waiting for them to hatch!
Don't forget students can work on Lexia at home. Students can login to Lexia through Clever. Contact your child's teacher if you need student's Clever login information.
