We have been reviewing basic sentence skills in English and will learn to write personal narratives beginning this week.

In Math, we are completing our Unit 1 review of addition and subtraction strategies and will be ready for a Unit 1 assessment at week's end. Students should be practicing their basic addition and subtraction facts regularly so that they become automatic.

In Science, we are finishing up our exploration of Matter mid-week. Students will bring home their books and vocabulary study cards to review for a chapter assessment. Then we will switch gears and turn to our Social Studies texts for awhile.

Reminders...

Scholastic Book orders for Sept. flyers are due on 9/25, if interested. Thanks!
