Look at what we are learning!

Math: We will have been working on subtracting 2 and 3 digit numbers with regrouping. You and your child can create subtraction problems and word problems at home to practice. Writing/Grammar: In writing, we are still writing persuasively and weve learned how to incorporate this into writing letters. Giving reasons why someone should be persuaded by their choices is still essential to a well written piece. Encourage your child to try to persuade you of something using their reasoning skills. In grammar, we are learning about adverbs. Reading: We are learning about fables and what makes them a special kind of literature. These
stories have animals as the main characters and teach a moral.

Social Studies: We have learned about the impact of Jackie Robinson on the Civil Rights Movement. Science: We are continuing our unit on astronomy by learning how objects in space move. Health: We learned about how to take care of our teeth for Dental Health Month.
