March 16th - March 20th

What We Are Learning

Reading:  This week we reviewed what characters and settings are in a story.  Next week we will dive even deeper into this topic.  We will look closely at character traits.

Alphabet: In alphabet this week, we looked at the _ug word family (examples: bug, rug, mug, etc.). We practiced “spelling” these words with our bodies.  We also learned about the blends fr and gl.

Writing:  This week we started a new opinion writing unit.  We decided on an opinion and justified it using three reasons why.  Ask your child which special class they chose to write about.

Math: We started a new math unit. We reviewed the teen numbers 11-15. We worked on breaking these numbers apart, representing them as an equation (example: 10+3=13), and making them using a tens frame.

Theme: During theme this week, we learned about St. Patrick’s Day.  We pretended we met a leprechaun and he gave us 6 wishes.  We also wrote about who is worth more than gold. Ask your child who they chose to write about.

Tiger Pride Assembly

Our next Tiger Pride Assembly will be March   25th at 2:30. Parents are more than welcome to attend! You never know when your child might be recognized for good character, teamwork, academics, or improvement!

Spring Conferences

This year our school will be doing spring parent teacher conferences for the first time. They will be March 24th and March 26th.  These conferences will be different from fall conferences in that they are not student-led but more of a conversation focus and a chance to look at data about your child’s growth this year.
