We will have gym Monday and Friday next week.  Please send your child in their gym uniform and sneakers on Monday.

Math: We completed work in out twelfth unit, Length.  Look for your child’s assessment on this topic in their red folder.  Our next unit will be Time.  We will work to understand the hour and minute hands, work to tell and write time to the hour and half hour, and use data from a table.  This is a very short unit and will take about a week to complete. 
As a reminder, please review math facts nightly with your children.  This will help ensure your child’s success in math this year!

Religion:  Students are learning about the different parts of mass.  On Friday we visited the Church for a tour with Mrs. Arbuckle.

Phonics: In phonics we are working in our tenth unit, which focuses on five sound words with the addition of the suffix endings ing and ed.  We will spend time mastering new vowel teams for reading identification.  This unit will span three weeks.  

Science: We had a fun trip to Moose Hill this week to learn about the process of Maple Sugaring.  Ask your child about the history and steps needed to make this delicious treat.  We learned a lot and had a great hike in the woods.  

Have a nice weekend!
