Spelling Rule 2 Learn how to spell homophones. All students will learn to use these pairs correctly: two, too and to, through, threw, dear, dear, which, witch, it's, its. They will add additional words to their word study folder during the week. Tuesday's homework - Write the spelling word in the center of a half sheet of paper. Around the word write the definition, draw a picture of it and use it in a sentence. (It's should be interesting.)

Math We will continue to build rectangular arrangements to discover the characteristics of prime, composite and square numbers. Parents, this is a good time to review basic multiplication facs. They should have instant recall of all their facts 1 - 12 by the end of the year. (More to come on this topic...)

Reading Students learn how be a "good" reading partner! They will get their levels, and read a partner book with a friend. While reading the partner book, you may still have a back up book to read if they finish the required partner reading. At least one stop and jot should be completed each evening while they are reading. It should share a thought and explain the reasoning behind the thought!

Writing We are continuing to share small moments that were meaningful. You can help by looking at photos and telling the story behind it. You can tell family stories at dinner time, etc...
