Math
In math classes we are continuing our exploration of strategies used for addition and subtraction. We have been working with using NUMBER LINE! We encourage all students to become proficient using the number line strategy in both addition and subtraction. We will also be working with story problems that are one and two steps. Within Unit 6 we are learning about measurement and using our knowledge of time to help us solve word problems.
Reading
READING
Write on!
Writing
We began our Informational writing with ‘how to write like a scientist’ and continued with procedural (how to) writing for our readers. This month in writing we will finish our unit on informational texts. Students will have a chance to apply all of the tools of an informational writer that they have learned over the course of this unit. We cannot wait to read their biographies, landmarks, and/or animal texts!

Cold Weather Reminder
Cold Weather Reminder!
Just a reminder that as the weather gets colder, students will need to have a jacket to participate in recess. If they do not have a coat, they will not be able to go outside on cold days. We want to keep everyone healthy! If students are missing jackets, they are encouraged to check the lost and found!
