Math-

Our chapter 3 math test is done and we have begun regrouping with addition. Starting out, we'll use our base ten blocks as a visual which helps in understanding how to convert 10 ones into another 10. 

As a continued review, one thing that would help at home is to give them some real life addition and subtraction problems. An example would be, "If Kalona is 15 miles away, and we have already traveled 9 miles, how many more miles do we still have to travel?" Anyway you can add real life learning is always beneficial. 

Reading-

We'll have to finish testing Monday, as we ran out of time today. Our next selection is titled "Click Clack Moo." This is a very funny story about cows that can type. We'll work on conclusion activities and the prefixes pre and mis. 

Science-

We'll finish checking what we know about plants and insects, then begin our new unit on Air and Weather, with a focus on "What can air do?" Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a wonderful weekend!
