Can you believe next week is the end of the third quarter? Where has the time gone?

This week in literacy our focus will be Tall Tales. We will read some Tall Tales and discuss what makes the story a tall tale. We will also get a reader's theater tall tale to practice and present later.

In writing, we are working on our debates. We have done a lot of research to help with examples and facts to support with our reasons. This week we will work on a strong lead and transitions.

This week our high frequency words are: young, sun, thing, whole.

In math, we are working on elapsed time, adding and subtracting time, and graphing.

Our field trip to the Weidner Center and Heritage Hill is Thursday. Please make sure your child has a cold lunch and drink unless they've order a lunch to go. Also, make sure they dress for the weather. We will be doing a lot of walking outdoors at Heritage Hill.

Fang's Reading Club started Friday. Remember our goal is 200 min. per base. In order to get their base and prize they need to hand in their weekly reading sheet. I will keep track of the minutes they've read since March 3. The only way your child won't make their goal is if they don't read and hand in their weekly sheets. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
