Reading - This week we will continue to focus on identifying fact and opinion. We will also review and work on summarizing and identifying information or interesting facts when we read.  Students continue to rotate through the Daily 5 activities that include read to self, read to someone, work on writing, listen to reading, and word work.

Writing - This week students will continue to work on a district writing assessment. They will be writing an opinion piece on their favorite season. Students will state their opinion, supply reasons that support an opinion, using linking words (e.g. because and also) to connect opinion and reasons, provide a concluding statement. In mechanics, usage, and grammar students will work on using the right word like "to," "too," and "two" and "there," "their," and "they're."

Math - This week students will be measuring inches, feet, and yards with rulers  yardsticks, and tape measures. Students work daily on a number of the day, problem solving, math writing, and activities that support the Common Core State Standards.

Inquiry - This week we will continue to look at how we use magnets in everyday life.

All students will need a clean gallon milk jug with the label removed by Friday, March 15th.
