Curriculum

** Note on Finger Spinners - We know students really enjoy these, however, it would be helpful if they were kept at home.  Students are using them at inappropriate times and I am afraid that one will get lost.  Thank you for your help!


Reading/Writing/Science:
Next week, we are hopeful that our chicks will be hatching!  While this happens, students will be preparing their presentations for our Chick Celebration on Friday.

Book Baggies:
Please remind students to return their book baggies on Friday along with bookmarks and tracking sheets.  That way, if needed, I can change their levels and we can keep track of the books they are taking home.

Math:
We finished unit 8 this week.  Next week, we will begin Unit 9.  Unit 9 is a review of the skills we've learned this year.  Next week, we will review measurement, 2-digit number stories, and addition/subtraction strategies.

Unit 9 Skills
I can measure length
I can add and subtract large numbers
o I can compare strategies
o I can identify 3D shapes and make new shapes
o I can make and name equal shares

Unit 9 IXL Skills - Students may use IXL to help them practice these skills.
