Reading:
- We are continuing our work with Non-Fiction books! This week we are diving into non-fiction text structures and looking for them in our own books.
Word Study:
- Our word study words are back! Beginning on Tuesday, we will have our new words written in our planners to practice at home with our families. Please look for these and work with your child on their spelling.
Math:
- We are working on two and three digit addition and subtraction. We are learning new strategies, such as rounding, to help us solve these tricky mathematical problems!
Writing:
- We are beginning to write our own persuasive essays! We are looking at different parts of our school or community that we would like to change and finding reasons with evidence about why they should change!
Social Studies:
- We are wrapping up our most recent Social Studies unit, looking at Native Americans during the early history of Michigan. This week we are mapping where all of the different tribes lived!
