Reading:  

This week we read a story called "Destiny's Gift".  Ask your child what the story was about and how we thought kids, even at their age, can make a difference.  We worked on vowel pairs, ai, ay, ee, ea. We also introduced the difference between sentences and fragments. 

Math:

We moved from 3-digit addition to 3-digit subtraction with regrouping.  Feel free to practice some of these with your child.  We will complete Chapter 1 on Tuesday and will take our first math test on Wednesday.

Science:

We continue to grow beans in our class sprouter.  We did some experimenting with lima beans this week to see how much water beans can soak up.  We weighed 5 beans dry, then put them in water until the next day, drained the water and weighed the beans again and found our their weight doubled!

SS:

We started our unit on Migration this week!  We started with the Louisiana Purchase...who was President during the purchase, how much land we bought and for how much and from who did we buy it from.  Ask your child to tell you about it!

Everyone enjoy a great weekend!
