Field Trip News
We are taking a trip to the planetarium at Rockbridge HS on March 16. Please return the permission slip as soon as possible. Due to lack of space, volunteers are not requested on this trip.
We are so lucky to have an amazing opportunity to take a field trip to the St. Louis Science Center at the beginning of April. Our trip will be April 7th. A letter went home in Friday Folders last week detailing parts of the trip, and more information will come home as the trip comes closer. Please return the permission slip as soon as possible, and also feel free to mark that you will loan a cooler or volunteer your time to accompany us! Please know if you do accompany us, you will have to drive separately, and it is $10 to park. Thanks in advance!
Service Learning News
We are looking for items to put in baskets for our silent auction! Please see the note in your Friday Folder, or email me if you have any questions!
Math Night
Math Night will be March 14th. Please return the RSVP even if you do not want to buy pie. Please also know that pie is $3 if you purchase ahead of time and $4 at the door.
Now onto the learning...
Reading
This week we will focus on taking notes and using graphic organizers to understand what we have read. Our focus will be on Venn Diagrams. We will spend our week collecting information from a text (fiction) and using a graphic organizer to show our thinking.
Math
We will begin 3-digit addition and subtraction this week. After spending so long on 2-digit addition and subtraction, I don't foresee this unit being challenging at all. We are great critical math thinkers and I know we will be able to apply our learning from 2-digit to help us this month. This unit will continue through the end of March (tentatively) depending on our understanding!
Writing
This week we will begin our first opinion piece. We will spend a lot of the week understanding our organizer/planning sheet, and drafting will begin next week. We will be looking at the story of the Three Little Pigs in comparison to the True Story of the Three Little Pigs, and picking our favorite book/sharing our opinion on which is better.
