*** Important Message from the PE Department:
Please remember to bring a hat and water bottle on PE days. The new artificial turf field is ready to use and PE classes will be going outside this week. Hats are required when going outside.
Language Arts
This week, the children will be developing skills to work with partners and grow ideas as readers. Partnerships are really beneficial when students know how to communicate well with each other and get the conversation started. In writing, the children will be focused on planning their opinion essays using a variety of tools.
Math
This week, students will continue to read and write multi-digit numbers in word form, expanded form and standard form. They will also begin to round numbers to the nearest place value.
Social Studies
This week, we will finish up looking at identity and what influences our values and behaviors. This theme will run throughout the unit as we begin our identity portraits and start addressing the next part of this unit which is, "What is Culture?"
