Quarter 2, Week 3

Good evening! Read-a-thon day is this Wednesday! We will be celebrating a love for reading with a “lights out” reading time at the end of the day. Don't forget to send your child with a blanket and flashlight/book light and their choice of book to read! Please make sure your child turns in their costume approval slip by Tuesday. We will not be having math groups on Wednesday. 

A look at this week:

Language Arts

We will have a spelling test Friday, per usual, but only on 15 words to accommodate Literature Day. We will read several ancient myths to help us understand story elements. Concurrently, we will be drafting our own personal narratives.

Math

This week we will be practicing multiplication and division and learning out 6 and 7 facts. Try challenging your child to skip count by these numbers on your way to and from school for good practice!  There will be no math groups on Wednesday because of Literature Day.

Science

We will learn how to care for our muscles and what happens when our muscles get hurt. Our Muscular System quiz will be moved to Thursday of this week. We will begin learning about the skeletal system at the end of the week.

History

This week we will continue our Rome Unit. We will take a look at the virtuous Cincinnatus. We will also learn about the Punic wars! You will see a take-home quiz go home on Thursday and it will be due Monday 11/5.
