Please see the flyer that went home last week for details.

We have completed our first Reading unit and this week, we will review, then take our first Unit Benchmark Test. There will be no new spelling words this week, no spelling test, and no regular weekly reading test.

In Math, we have begun our 3rd Topic - Add Within 100 Using Strategies. On Friday, we learned how to use a Hundred Chart to add 2-digit numbers. Other strategies we will learn this week is adding tens and ones using an open number line, and breaking apart numbers to add them. We will continue with weekly timed fact quizzes to assess basic fact mastery. We are down to 4 minutes and hope to get down to 3 minutes soon. Keep practicing!

We have begun Chapter 1: Matter in our new Science books and the kids are excited to do some inquiry and exploration activities in our classroom.
