News from Trailer C

Hello families!

We survived our first full week of school in a long time! Here are some updates for you from this week:

Reading: We've been working on asking questions as we read. We used an online feed called TodaysMeet to ask questions as I read a picture book aloud on Monday. The students seemed to like the mix of technology with the read aloud. We will continue to focus on topics each week up until MAP testing to sharpen the students' knowledge of each skill.

Writing: We've been practicing forming opinions with writing prompts. We will start our opinion writing unit late next week.

Math: We have finished Unit 5 and are planning to test on Tuesday, March 6. We reviewed yesterday and today in class, and will also review on Monday. Please make sure your student is reviewing or making practice problems to prepare for this test.

Science: We learned about weather this week. We talked about the different air pressures, fronts, and vocabulary. We also talked more about water and the limited access to water on our Earth. Next week we will begin Ecosystems. These are all units that will supplement the questions on the MAP test.

Social Studies: We've been tying social studies into reading this week. We've read a lot about the Revolutionary war, the battles leading up to it and the people involved.

Other Important Information:
