Thank you Rashmi's parents for the glue sticks, dry erase markers and erasers!!


In Math, we are knee deep into Time and Elapsed Time using a number line. Games are posted under the "math tab" for practice. The kids didn't do as well on a worksheet today as I thought they would've. So some practice on time would be beneficial. Use the games and ixl.com to practice. We will start perimeter on Tuesday. The test for this unit (Time and Perimeter) will be the following week. 

In Writing and Reading, we've started our Poetry unit. The kids have learned free verse and narrative poetry. 
We will continue with this unit for the next week and half. 

In Science, we are wrapping up our Changing Matter and Mixtures unit. The test will be sometime this upcoming week.
