Hi Parents,
Happy Friday! Thank you for the tissues and Clorox wipes! We celebrated Dr. Seuss all week. Fine Arts Night was a great family activity! Time is clicking along, and the calendar is filling fast! The kids are working to fill our Marble Jar and earn an opportunity to bring a toy to school. :)
We started talking about maps this week, and I showed the kids these two AWESOME videos. I promised I'd include a link in this week's blog so they can watch from home. THEY ARE SO COOL!!!!!! I hope you like them too. :)

Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
- Reading: We will talk about how good readers use context clues to figure out the meaning of unknown words.
- Writing: We will continue our opinion writing unit as we focus on editing our writing for mechanics, punctuation, and proper sight word spelling.
- Math: We will begin a quick little unit on Fact Families. Fact families are made up of 2 addition sentences and 2 subtraction sentences, which all contain the same numbers. Fact families are sometimes called "related facts". For example:
- 2+3=5
- 3+2=5
- 5-2=3
- 5-3=2
- Social Studies: We will continue our Maps unit. We will explore cardinal directions, map keys and map symbols, and construct a map of a familiar area.
