Class Update: March 13th

Math Night- we had a great turnout last night at Publix Math Night! Our class was the grade level winner! I enjoyed seeing you and your children last night and I hope they enjoyed completing their activity sheet.

We have been very busy wrapping up the 3^rd 9 weeks of school. I can’t believe we are entering the 4^th and final 9 weeks of the school year. Be on the lookout for your child’s report card on Thursday, March 19^th. It will come home in a large envelope. Please sign the signature card and attach 3 stamps to the front of the envelope. The sooner you can return these items the better off we will be. The stamps are so we can mail your child’s final report card and paperwork in May.

In math, we have been working on telling time to the quarter hour and 5 minutes. Students have done an awesome job identifying the minute and hour hand as well as the difference between an analog and digital clock. They rotated through time centers this week to practice these skills. We will be moving into line plots and addition and subtraction with 3 digit numbers next.

Students finished their opinion writing piece about their favorite pizza toppings. We celebrated with ordering a few pizzas and having a little pizza party of our own! They did an excellent job with their opinion pieces. Look for their writing to come home soon!

In social studies, we have been learning about Jackie Robinson. Ask your child to share one important fact about his life. They really enjoyed learning about why is an important historical figure. They created their own baseball field with facts about his life.

In language arts, we have been working on possessive nouns and folk tales, fables, and fairy tales. Your child brought home a take home project sheet today. Students will choose one fairy tale, folk tale, or fable to create a project on. Details will be found on the bright yellow sheet. These projects are due Monday, March 23^rd. This is the day that we will also have fairy tale, folktale and fable day. Please be on the lookout for more information this week!

Classroom News

We had a great time on our MLK field trip! We started our morning off listening to some folktales that related to MLK’s life. We then toured his childhood home, the visitors center, Ebenezer Baptist Church, the eternal flame, tomb, and Freedom Hall where students were able to see the Nobel Peace Prize given to Martin Luther King. It was a bit windy out but the students did a great job of following directions and really seemed to enjoy the trip. Here are a few pictures!

In math we finished our partitioning unit and moved on to comparing 3 digit numbers using the >,<, and = symbols. Here are a few pictures from our partitioning activities.
