FINAL REMINDER—Teeth Brushing Charts are due ASAP!

In Reading we will read the story, Abuela, by author Arthur Dorros.  It will be the last of our “adventure” stories for Unit 4.  It will be a fiction story about a city adventure and the boys and girls will learn a few Spanish words.  We will work with short and long /e/ sounds and the letter Ee and practice the comprehension skill, setting.  Check out the new Family Times newsletter in your child’s folder.  Please practice high frequency word cards.

For Math, we will begin with Unit 5; Understanding Subtraction.  Students will act out and solve subtraction word problems, will use the minus sign to represent take away situations when recording subtraction, will use the equal sign, subtract, and write the difference.  Review practice pages as they come home in the folder.  **Review, sign and return Unit 4 Test when it is enclosed in RETURN.
