Week of 3/8

Dear families,
The students have worked hard this week and learned a lot about the Earth’s cycles and fractions on a number line! We had an assembly on Wednesday and enjoyed seeing all the brass instruments and hearing the music.

Next week in Reading we will continue to learn about writing a summary for nonfiction. We will have a power test in Reading on Friday, March 15.In Writing we will write to inform about trees. In Math we will continue our unit on fractions, focusing on comparing fractions and adding with like denominators. In Social Studies we will review the civilizations of Greece, Rome, and Mali and learn about their economic specialization.
Moby Max March Madness is in full swing! A flyer was sent home last Friday, March 1. The children are working for one hour a week on Moby Max to show fact fluency in addition and subtraction facts. Students who meet this benchmark will get to paint a rock for our “Math Rocks” garden. Please encourage your child to log into Moby Max on the weekends!
