Notes
With school now being closed through spring break, I am sending the following to you:
 
Math:  Enclosed are fact triangles that students can use to practice math facts. An information sheet on how to use the triangles is included.
 
Reading:  We encouraged children to select a book from our classroom library to take home, and tried to make sure all library books also went home.  Please be sure to read with your child daily for a minimum of 15 minutes.
 
Technology: I am resending your child’s Clever badge so that they can easily access Raz Kids, Lexia, and DreamBox online.  Directions for logging into Lexia and Dreambox are included in the folder.
 
Other: I am also resending my March Anytime Activities list.  This menu has activities in spelling, reading, writing, and math that you can choose from.
 
As a reminder, our classroom website is www.jennyellisfirst.weebly.com
 
Our leprechaun has continued to be busy making mischief in our classroom. Once we return in April, we will go on a leprechaun hunt to catch him.
 
I will miss seeing the children every day! Hope everyone stays healthy!

We are Learning...

 
Reading:  Readers use what they know about their character(s) to retell and predict events.
 
Word Work: Learning about pronouns
 
Writing: Writing our opinions has continued.   We are using the following format: state your opinion, give a reason, and add some detail about your reason.
 
Math: Fact families and fact triangles. For example, 6+4=10, 4+6=10, 10-6=4, 10-4=6 is a fact family.
 
Social Studies: Examined old photos of what schools looked like in the past, as well as American holidays that reference the past.
