December 20

Good afternoon! December has flown by so fast! There will not be a spelling, story, or grammar test the week that we come back from break. We will be starting a new unit in Math that week. Students will be  adding 3 numbers, working with number stories, and learning how to multiply for the first time. We will also be starting Unit 3 (History) in Social Studies. Ms. Davidson will continue to use this blog for updates. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, and I will see you in April.

December 11

Good afternoon! This week in Language Arts we are working on using context clues to figure out new words and working with r-controlled a in words, such as car, start, star, etc. We have started Unit 5 in Math. It is a short unit and we skip around a bit so your child's homework may not be in chronological order. We will be reviewing for our next Math test this Friday and next Monday. Our Math test will be on Tuesday, December 18. Also, please remember our Unit 2 Social Studies is this Thursday, December 13. Please continue to help your child study the material.

Have a great week!

November 26

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend. In Language Arts this week we will be working on words that have -ge, -ce-, and -se endings, like cage, mice, and tease. Please practice these word endings with your child. In Math we are working on estimating costs and temperature. Next Monday we will have our Unit 2 Skills Test in Language Arts, and on Wednesday, December 5, we will have our Unit 2 Word Wall Test. Please practice the spellings of these words with your child each night. A list went home last week.

For homework tonight, students should write their spelling words three times each and complete Home Link 4.4.

Have a great night!
