Writing- Next week we will be finishing up our unit on informative writing. The kids have been doing really good about remembering to start with an introduction, use transition words (first, then, next, last) and concluding their writing with a conclusion. We are also working on remembering the only times we use capital letters in our writing and needing to continue practicing using punctuation at the ends of our sentences. They have been working hard.
Math- The kids have been finding out if addition equations are true, finding missing addedends, and adding 3 addends together. That is not the easiest thing to do, but they have made it look like a piece of cake! :)
I started a new incentive for the kids. If we don't make it to the last pages of the packet in class, they can (they do not have to ) complete it at home and return it for 2 whole points!! This is a good way for you to see how they are doing on the daily assignments as well. You can also have your child show you how he or she solved the problems that are already solved. Let them "teach" you how to do the math. :) This next assessment is more difficult than others in the past so I am really trying to make sure they know what they are doing. We will be taking the Unit 5 assessment next Friday. They will be bringing home their study guide next Thursday.
Social Studies-Our next unit in Social Studies is economics. We will be learning about the difference between needs and wants, producers and consumers, and goods and services.
