Good evening! We are finishing up Unit 4 in Language Arts this week. We will take our Unit 4 LA Skills Test on Monday and Tuesday, and our Word Wall Test will be on Wednesday, March 12.

In Language Arts next week we will focus on identifying the main idea of a text and spelling multisyllabic words. The students have learned that when they get stuck on spelling a word when they write that they should clap it out into syllables. Then they should spell each syllable they hear. They are also reminded that every syllable gets a vowel. Please encourage your child to clap out words they have difficulty spelling as this will help them become more independent writers.

In Math we will continue our unit on measurement.

In Science the students will be learning about motion.

Have a great week!
