One more week until Spring Break!

Reading

This week in reading we will be talking about the theme (the message) of a story. We will be examining various fiction text to try to find the theme, concluding with finding the theme of a book of our choice on Friday!

Math

This is our final week of 3-digit addition and subtraction. We have been working so hard on understanding how to add and subtract large numbers, as well as stack numbers to add and subtract! We will conclude this unit with a test on either Thursday or Friday (depending on how confident we feel come those days).

Writing

This week we will finish up publishing our first piece on the True Story of the Three Little Pigs vs. The Three Little Pigs. We've been working so hard on forming opinions and coming up with examples to support our opinions. On Wednesday, we will begin a new piece after reading 3 monter books and choosing our favorite, while defending our opinion. (We will be reading: "The Monstore", "I Need My Monster", and "The Monster's Monster")

Social Studies

We are continuing our study on cultures and communities. We will talk about needs vs. wants, traditions, and heirlooms this week while relating these topics to our own families.
