Miss Brown's Bulletin
Week of March 7-11
Cabbage Program
Last week your child came home with a cabbage plant. A newsletter was also sent home to explain more about the Cabbage Program and give tips for caring for the plants. At the end of the growing season (8-10 weeks), send in a photo of your child with their cabbage along with it's weight. I will select a class winner and that winner will have a chance to win a $1,000 scholarship!
AR Goals
AR goals have been reset since taking the STAR Reading assessment on Friday. On this weeks report you will see what your child's new goal is. This goal is due on Friday, April 29. Let's see if we can get EVERYONE to meet their goals for a second time!

We Are Learning To...
Language Arts
In Language Arts we will be wrapping up our book A Crazy Day with Cobras. Students will have a test over the final chapter to show their ability to recall the chapter using key details, answer questions related to the text and use context clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary.
Students will also be wrapping up their informational writing pieces about the country of India.

Math
We are already halfway through our unit over Area and Multiplication. Students will complete a mid-unit assessment to show their knowledge of the skills practiced so far. Students will also be assessed on their fluency in solving multiplication and division problems.
We will continue on to Topic C this week after taking the mid-unit assessment. Look for a Topic C newsletter in Monday folders.
