October 5-8, 2015

Homework: The math packet and reading log are due on Thursday. Please return it in your Yellow Reading Log/Math Homework Folder.
Language Arts: We will read the book our Scholastic News Magazines. One is on Johnny Appleseed and the other is on marmoset Monkeys. The class will practice how to Read to Someone. We will discuss nonfiction text features. We continue to read about life cycle of a frog. The children will work on opinion writing. We will learn about compound words and two syllable words.
Mathematics: We will be adding three digit numbers with regrouping in the ones and tens. We will have a problem solving day and focus on the steps to take when solving a word problem. We will be reviewing chapter 2 on addition with regrouping. We will be taking our test on it on Thursday.
Science: We will continue to read and study the life cycle of a frog. Your child will be expected to know the four stages and at least two important facts that help explain that stage. You are encouraged to talk about it together. I am hoping we will be ready to have a quiz on it on Thursday.
Social Studies: We will talk about Columbus Day. We will use our map skills to find where Columbus went on his voyage.
Thank you to all the parents that were able to attend curriculum night. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am looking forward to working with you.

We will not have a reflection this week. Enjoy the long weekend!
