Math
This week in Math, students have been working on 3-digit addition with and without regrouping. Students have added numbers where the ones need to be regrouped to the tens and the tens need to be regrouped into the hundreds. Your children will add 3-digit addition up to 999. Next week, students will need to add 3-digit numbers that require regrouping in the ones and tens. For example:
247
+ 389
Also next week, students will be subtracting 3-digit numbers. At first, students will subtract 3-digit numbers without regrouping. Later in the week, students will subtract 3-digit numbers with regrouping in the ones and tens. There is a great interactive website that you can go to and work with base ten blocks. This website is:

Math homework for next week is DPM #15.
Language Arts
Next week we will be jumping back into our fiction writing unit. Students will be writing realistic fiction stories. We are going to work on adding dialogue, additional details, and writing two possible endings for our stories. I am excited to finally get back into this unit because I know that these kiddos have so many fun and creative stories in those brains. :)
NO SCHOOL!
We are off Monday January 18th in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Reading
Wednesday and Thursday next week we are taking our reading DPM! Please make sure your son/ daughter is at school if possible :)
We will continue with our fiction reading unit next week Friday which includes recognizing character traits and feelings once again.
Science
In Science this week, we have discussed weather. Next week we will discuss weather decisions and weather in the water cycle. We will also discuss weather patterns and seasonal weather. The unit 3 test will be given on January 27th. It will cover all of unit 3 in the study guide. Science homework is pp. 6-8 (Part 3- Week 2).
I hope that you all have a wonderful 3-day weekend. Hopefully, we will have beautiful weather. I loved this quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. :
"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education."
