• math: We are wrapping up & review our multiplication & division unit. We are set to take our unit test this Wednesday.
• reading: We continue on with our non-fiction reading unit. This week we will choose a topic that we would like to become experts in. Among books on those topics, we will work to identify the main idea & supporting details. Then, we will spend time working on our non-fiction comprehension by note taking & jotting down important ideas as we finish up sections of our reading. This will help us prepare to teach others about our topic!
• writing: This week we begin our informational writing unit!
• word work: We continue practicing our spelling patterns in small groups. Word lists can be found in your child’s planner.
• religion: This week we discuss how God is powerful & loving. We will read all about how Moses split the sea for the Israelites.
• social studies: All about Martin Luther King Jr!

Thank you for your constant support!

Stay dry & warm,
Miss Poindexter
