Week of Monday, March 14th!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!
 
We will be starting Unit 7 in our reading series this week!  We will be focusing on words with prefixes un-, re-, mis- and suffixes -y, -ly, -ful for spelling and phonics. To help with reading comprehension, we will learn about character motives and point of view.  We will use our main selection story, "Go to Sleep, Gecko!" to aid with this skill.  The students will be learning their new vocabulary words this week and how to use them in context.  Make sure to look at your newsletter that will come home tomorrow to see what else we will be doing in class!
 
We will continue working with coins and bills for our money chapter.  We will also focus on solving real world money problems.  We will complete a "study guide" in class this week and they will bring it home on Tuesday.  Students will be tested over money on Friday.  We will continue focusing on telling time during math intervention.
 
In science, students will start learning about animal habitat changes and how how living things function and interact with their physical environments. They will also learn more about how living things cause changes in the environment where they live.
