March 14-18

Hello, all! It seems that we are on the brink of spring weather! I know I'm excited for all the kids to be able to get out in the warm weather more often! Here's what happening this week:

Literacy
This is a review week, so we will not have a focus letter.
The word we are focusing on is: up
We will be talking about the -og word family
In writing we have started talking about poems. Yesterday they heard some Shel Siverstein poems, today I read them a poem I wrote, and tomorrow we will write a poem together! By Friday, they will each get to write a poem by themselves! I'm excited to see what they come up with!

Math
We will finish up our chapter on addition this week. We will be doing some fun math games that have a St. Patrick's day theme! I will also be assessing the kids individually on their addition skills.

Integrated
We have been talking about farms and so yesterday and today we have watched a Reading Rainbow video about cows and how they give us milk and what we do with that milk! There's a cool part about how to make cheese! We will also be doing a fun shamrock activity in honor of St. Patrick's day! Be looking for pictures!

Reminder
Next week is spring break! There will not be school all week! Please spend some of this time finishing up your homework sheets. The homework is due Wednesday, March 30th!
