After January 31, I will no longer be sending my newsletter via Skyward. Instead it will be coming in Seesaw. Additionally, Seesaw is a great way to see some work your child does here at school, and even leave comments for them about their work! I plan on using Seesaw for more assignments on future e learning days.It is nice to see you commenting on your child's work too!

Reading
Math
This week we spend the entire week reviewing all of the skills from unit 2. This was a big job because we've been working on Unit 2 since right after Fall Break! Addition and subtraction tow or 3 digit numbers with and without regrouping, comparing numbers, patterns, place value, and adding multiple 2 digit numbers were our focus this week!
We also worked on using all of those skills to solve multi- step, mutli- solution real world problems.
Next up- unit test Monday and then measurement!
English/ Writing
In writing, we finished up our animal research- and we are learning how to put all of those facts together into a report! Almost done with our reports- just need to revise and edit and then publish! THEN we can start our wax museum research!
