Writing
Students are finishing up their final narrative writing piece! We are working hard to follow the writing process of analyzing a prompt, brainstorming, planning, drafting, revising, editing and publishing with this piece. Please remember if you're writing at home to reinforce conventions with the acronym CUPSS (Capitals, Usage, Punctuation, Spacing, Spelling). It's helpful to analyze one sentence at a time or one part of CUPSS at a time rather than looking at everything all at once. Our next unit of study will be informational writing.
Reading
Students are doing a great job using their background knowledge and making connections with our current texts King Kafu and the Moon and Let's Visit the Moon. They are also working closely on identifying differences between fiction and non-fiction texts. When reading at home see if your child can tell you what kind of text they're reading and how they know!
Math
We're continuing to build our understanding of number sense! Students are working hard to use what they know about place value to help them add within 100. We will continue to analyze numbers and break them down this week. We will also be revisiting graphing and comparing numbers when we return from spring break.

Science
We have begun investigating sky patterns! Students studied photographs of the sky and made a list of objects they can see in the sky during the day verse at night. This week will will act as engineers and design a playhouse with windows that would let the sun shine inside all day long. Students will build their model and test it before spring break.
