Language Arts

We are reading the story The First Tortilla and continuing to find the plot and overall theme. We will continue to learn about adjectives and adverbs this week. In writing, students will focus on writing an opinion paragraph using various sentence starters shared with them.

Math

As we progress through module 5 we review addition and subtraction strategies to subtract 3 digit numbers. Flashcards are a great way to work on fact power. Many kids are making careless errors because they are not secure with their facts.

Earth club is collecting bread tags for recycling. Instead of bread tags ending up in the landfill, we will give them to SCARCE to add to the county's collection. The bread tags will be recycled into wheelchairs for underprivileged children. Please help Cloverdale School help other children and and the Earth by saving bread tags!

***Please make sure your child is reading 20 minutes every day to help them grow as a reader.

Happy Birthday to our Cloverdale Friends!

No March Birthdays!
