Curriculum Update March 4-8

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It was nice to see the sun out. Hopefully we are finished with the snow.

This week, the children will be taking the Kansas Reading Assessment. They will take it Tuesday-Thursday at 9:00 am each day. It is important your child gets plenty of rest each night and has a healthy breakfast each morning.

On Monday, you will receive information about your child's published book. It is important you complete the signed form. The form has to be signed even if you aren't going to purchase an additional copy.

Reading: On Monday, we will have our Reading Superbowl. We will take our reading assessments on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, we will begin out novels.

Spelling: Due to the reading assessments, there will be NO spelling this week.

Writing: We will continue our autobiography published books this week.

Math: We will continue topic 9 this week. We will be working on fractions as sets, fractional parts of a set, locating fractions on the number line, benchmark fractions, and fractions and length.

Science: We will continue our force and motion unit. This week, the students are learning about speed and distance through their flying airplane investigation. They will also study friction with their car investigation.

SS: We will begin a unit on economics this week. The students will learn about wants and needs.

Have a fantastic week!
