Reading: Students continue to read either George Washington or Molly's Pilgrim. We are practicing the reading strategy of drawing conclusions as we read these great stories.
Math: We are practicing measuring and looking at longer distances. Next week we will learn about capacity, volume and area.
Science: We carefully observed our Painted Lady caterpillars this week. We learned that these caterpillars spin silk like a spider. We also learned that a caterpillar has 6 true legs and 12 prolegs. Ask your child about these features.
Students took the final MAP test this week in the computer lab. Results will go home in the last report card.
Ask your child about
- the fire safety house
