Writing Workshop
We continue our unit of study on Opinion Writing. With out short week and impromptu snow day last week, we are running a bit behind schedule. This week we will be further exploring editorials, petitions and persuasive letters and choosing one of these forms to draft our next piece of opinion writing.
Vocabulary
We will have our assessment on Wednesday, March 11th. Homework tonight and tomorrow night will be to study and learn our words to prepare for Wednesday's assessment. Please encourage your child to come for support after school tomorrow if they are having any trouble with these new words. We continue to study and practice them in class, too.
Our twelve new words are listed below. Please encourage your child to visit the Vocabulary website to practice and learn these new words. https://www.sadlierconnect.com/@2084143 Please note- you should not need to sign in to the website. Simply scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Let's Go" in the purple Student and Family Resources Box.
Math
A multiplication review sheet will be given on Wednesday for homework. Students will begin working on the review sheet in class and finish for homework.
Students should complete 4-6 levels of Dreambox for homework this week.
Special Topics Day
Children do not need to bring their backpacks to school on Friday but they should bring a snack in a bag with their name on it.
