Weekly Updates

We are enjoying our unit about Ingenious Inventions. We are learning a lot of interesting facts about the inventors and their ingenious ideas that helped change our world. This will continue for one more week after spring break. I hope the children are coming home and sharing the interesting facts with you at home.
Tomorrow we have a math test on geometry-rectangles, squares, triangles, perimeter, parallelograms, quadrilaterals, and parallel lines. We are enjoying this fun, hands-on unit. We will begin fractions next. To conclude the year, we will learn about "telling time" and "two-digit subtraction."
We are half way through learning cursive. The children are really enjoying this writing activity! We will finish up the letters this week. Once we have learned all of the letters, the children may begin using it in their daily work.
Report cards go home Friday! Wow, the 3rd quarter flew by! Please continue to practice math basic facts at home through flash cards or XtraMath. While we are learning about measurement, geometry, time, and fractions, I hope the children are still practicing their facts.
Thank you for all that you do!
Have a great week!
Mrs. Montes

Updates

Tomorrow we will have our Whales Test to conclude the unit. A review is coming home tonight to practice. It will be about everything whales that we have covered. Some things to know: The difference between a toothed whale and a baleen whale and what they eat/how their diet is different. Whales are mammals and they breathe with lungs. They cannot breathe underwater. Label the parts of the whale. Blue Whales are the largest whales. Whales do not sleep. They take in air while they are "half sleeping."

Our spelling and vocab test will also be tomorrow.

We start Inventions next week. We will do this for 2-3 weeks as we learn about different inventors and what they are known for by changing our world.

Have a great day!
