READING
We will not be reading a story next week. We will be doing a reading/writing workshop on letter writing. We will be writing a letter to our 3rd grade pen pals.
MATH
In math we are working on measuring using rulers and yardsticks. We measured objects to the nearest inch, foot, yard, meter and centimeter. Next week we will learn about perimeter and area. We will be finishing our chapter and taking our test on Thursday. Our next chapter is on weight, mass, temperature and capacity.
Handwriting
We will be learning to write the cursive capital letters Z, V, and W. Please review the lowercase letters with your child.
Social Studies
We will be learning about the expedition of Lewis and Clark, pioneers and slavery. We will learn about important Americans who helped others escape to freedom.
Science
We let our butterflies out into nature. We enjoyed learning about them and watching them grow and change.
