Math:
Until spring vacation, we will be working on subtraction strategies for
solving two-digit problems. Also, small groups will meet to learn and practice
telling time to the nearest minute. Math
homework is due every Friday.
Reading:
This past week be began Book Clubs!
This is an exciting time for the children. They will be finding big ideas in their books
while they read and flagging them with post-it notes. Then, there will be time to share within your
child’s book club their findings of new information.
We will be having our Idita-Read celebration Tuesday, March 31.
March is Reading month! The green
recording sheets are due on Monday. If
your child completes his/her reading and returns this paper he/she will receive
a small prize.
Writing:
We will begin our second round of ‘All About’ books. Your child will be picking another topic they
are experts at. They will begin to
develop a table of contents, then learn how to write different chapters within
the book using non-fiction language and text features.
Bible:
We will continue to learn about the Easter story. This week will see how
Jesus’ close friend betrayed him, while others denied him, and the rest ran
away. Everyone rejected and abandoned
Jesus. Through these circumstances God
fulfilled his own purpose-for Jesus was not a victim. He freely gave himself. He steadfastly walked to the cross, remaining
obedient to the Father!
Could you
please have your child bring in a small/medium size basket for an Easter
project. We will be retelling the Easter story using plastic eggs. This
basket is due Monday, March 16!!!
