Your child has chosen a partner to do the fair with and are finalizing their topics.  We may need some of your help from home as we go along. MORE TO COME LATER.

We have been working a lot on adverbs and prefixes.  We took a reading test today which the kids should have brought home...overall, they did really well!  

We are midway through our first chapter on fractions in math.  We have been learning how to write a fraction to match a picture, equal parts of a whole... We have learned to use fraction pies and fraction tiles.  We will begin comparing fractions next week, are they <, >, or = ...

We got our new (and final) science kit for this year!  We have started with magnets (forces, gravity, push/pull, attract/repel).  This has been fun for the kids.

Best of luck to all the archers heading to Des Moines this weekend for the State Archery tournament (including my 2 boys).  Best wishes to all of them!

Have a great weekend!
