Curriculum
Reading/Writing/Science:This week, the students learned about how chicks hatch. They learned the process and steps involved and then wrote about it. The students are excited to see our eggs hatch next week! Next week, the students will learn about the life cycle of a chick. We will also learn how genetics comes in to play in a life cycle.
Book Baggies:
Please help the students remember to bring their book baggies every Friday. I would like them to have an opportunity to read different books.
Math:
In math the students learned about fractions. They learned how to partition shapes into halves and fourths and how to identify different fractions. Next week, we will learn more about data and analyzing data.
IXL Skills - Use these activities as you wish to help your child with the skills we will be working on throughout this third trimester.

- adding and subtracting to 20 - play a board game for this
- telling time (What are the hands on the clock? How is a clock set up?)
