Math: We began work in our thirteenth unit, Time on Monday. We are working to understand the hour and
minute hands, working 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.
Up next will be unit fourteen, Using Data to Answer Questions.
Phonics: We are beginning our third week of unit ten. In this final week, students will work with the suffix endings ed and ing and work to apply these words in their dictation work. Next Friday will be out unit assessment. After this we will begin work with vowel-consonant e which is our first exploration of long vowels.

Writing: Students
have been working on their March portfolio writing piece, which is about their
sugaring trip to Moose Hill. Students
are now working on editing and revising through conferencing with an
adult. Their final pieces are looking
great! At home, students should be
regularly applying capital letters and periods in their writing.
Science: Next week students will begin work in our next
unit, Pebbles, Sand and Silt. Students will
sort and compare 20 different pebble samples both in and out of water. After this, we will be screening river rocks
using mesh screens. Students will then
organize the river rocks in to large pebbles, small pebbles, large gravel,
small gravel, and sand. It should be a
fun lesson!
Happy Easter!
