Classroom Information


Reading:
We will be reading selections from both our science and social studies textbooks. These passages will be about natural resources and recycling. These stories tie in to our Social Studies and Science unit of natural resources and recycling. This goes along with our projects that we are working on.


Spelling/Phonics- 

We will discuss homophones (words that sound the same but have different meanings). Spelling words will be homophones. Complete spelling log each night. Choose different activities each night! Check out my new website that allows you to practice theses words. 

Homophone spelling words: their-there, to-too-two, new-knew, threw-through, write-right, some-sum, see-sea, hear-here 

Writing: 

We are still writing five finger CHEESEBURGER stories! This means include details (gloop and glob) with each action!

1. Beginning-who, what, when, where
2. Action #1
3. Action # 2
4. Action # 3
5. Ending- Tell a feeling

Math:
We will working on double digit addition and subtraction with regrouping. We will focus on the importance of starting in the ones place to work a math problem. We will also take sometime to work on a math assessment in small groups to see what we have learned so far this year. We will also work with AM (accelerated math). Ask your child about it!

Science/Social Studies: 
We are working hard on our new unit of study, Natural Resources and Recycling. Students will be brainstorming ways to get the whole school involved in their recycling project.

 *** Please send in all soda tabs with your child to support the Ronald McDonald House.  Ask all friends, co-workers and family to save tabs for Mt. Ulla Elem.  


***  We are encouraging our students to recycle and reuse.  We would like for the students to bring in your newspapers, cans, plastic bottles(rinsed), and grocery bags.


***  Send in all  Boxtops (friends and families also) for cash for Mt. Ulla school.






Extra Credit:

Bring in a graph (bar or pictograph) of "favorite seasons."



Remember to look over your child's Tuesday Folder and go over any areas of concern.

 If you have any questions or concerns, please call, write a note, or come visit!
