LANGUAGE ARTS: This week we read and discussed an informational text called Sea Otter Pups and a collection of poems entitled At Home in the Wild. We worked on skills such as decoding words with three letter consonant blends as in "splash" and "throw," identifying adverbs that tell when, where, and how, identifying contractions, decoding words with the prefix "mis," using story vocabulary in context, and learning ten new high-frequency words.
MATH: Students estimated and measured the length and height of objects in inches, feet, and yards, and used a ruler and meter stick to measure the length and height of objects to the nearest centimeter and meter.
SCIENCE: We started a new unit over changes to Earth's surface. So far we have described what happens during weathering by water and ice, weathering by plants, and erosion by wind. All are slow processes.
HANDWRITING: This week students practicing writing the uppercase cursive U, Y, and Z.
GLOW-A-THON: The annual PTO Glow-a-Thon spring fundraiser will take place on Monday, April 27 during your child's P.E. time. Money raised will help to improve the entrance to the school. It will also benefit the PTO general fund. Please return your child's pledge form to school by Monday, April 27. Please have your child bring a water bottle to school this day. They are also encouraged to wear neon colors or white so they can "glow" during the Glow-a-Thon.
BRING SACK LUNCH TO SCHOOL: Monday, April 27 will be a sack lunch day at St. Malachy. Please have your child bring a sack lunch to school on this day. Milk will be provided.
BOOK ORDERS: Book orders are due tomorrow, April 17. Please note this is the last time I will be sending book orders home this school year. If you are interested in ordering, please order online by going to clubs.scholastic.com. Our class code to order online is LJWD4.
