Here's a look at our learning this week:

In writing and language arts, we will be turning our informative writing into a book! The students will use their rough draft as a guide to type a final draft. They will also be adding text features. We can't wait to see how these turn out! We will continue our work with verbs and verb tenses this week. We will work on irregular past tense verbs.

In reading, we will continue working with text features. We will focus on understanding how text features can help us understand what we're reading. 

In social studies, we will learn more about different regions of American Indians. As we learn about each region, we are comparing the types of food, clothing, and shelter used.

In math, we will continue learning about the properties of multiplication and how these properties can help us solve various multiplication problems.

Homework: Spelling words will be written in agendas Monday morning. Please study these words in preparation for Friday's quiz. Math homework will go home Monday to be returned by Friday. Please remember students should be showing their work when necessary. Students should be reading at least 20 minutes every night. If you are having trouble finding the right book, let me know and we can get something worked out.

Don't forget, there is NO SCHOOL on Tuesday!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, let us know.

Have a great week!
