*We have a busy week coming up as we will be participating in the Great Kindness Challenge. Throughout the week, we will talk about kindness, focus on a kindness quote each day and read books about kindness. We'll also participate in kindness activities and have school spirit days each day.

*In Science, we will continue learning about how sound and lights create messages and we'll create our own messages and codes.
*We will finish up our Mid Year Math assessment this week and finish up with Unit 5 of Everyday Math. We will continue to compare numbers and find the difference in numbers.
*We will begin with a new spelling list this week. Our focus will be on consonant clusters using the letter R. Consonant clusters will include words that start with cr-, pr-, tr-, dr-, br- and fr-.
*The class is doing an awesome job during reading groups and I'm so happy with the growth I've been seeing. Many students are beginning to read books with chapters (2-5 chapters.) Please take a look at the reading log I send home with students before they begin reading. Most nights I send students home to read one or two chapters a night. Please only read what is assigned so we can focus on different strategies each reading group, such as making predictions, making connections and reading with fluency.
*Each week we are adding more and more to the Seesaw App. This week I'm hoping to teach the class how to upload their own work independently. If you haven't signed up to see your child's work, there is still time to sign up! Seesaw is private; you'll only see posts created by your child.
