This Week We
enjoyed the story, “Wild Horses,” this week and learned about how wild mustangs
are protected in the West. In writing, we
completed our Red Sox trivia books, our fantastic beast writing, and applied to
the Anti-Villain League as super heroes.
We also enjoyed an online field trip to learn about the branches of our
government and how they all check and balance each other. In Math, we learned about prime and composite
numbers, continued to practice multiplication, and we figured out the challenge
of simple algebra. In Social Studies, we finished our Colonial Trade Sign project
and started learning about the Revolutionary War. We learned about what divided the colonists
into Patriots and Loyalists, and what had the Patriots so upset at King George!
Next Week
We will read the story, “Mystic Horse,” next week and we will work on
the skill of sequencing. We will continue to work on mastering multiplication,
simple algebra, and begin looking at division. We will continue working on our
Super Hero project by starting to formulate a plan for our super hero costumes,
as well as starting to write our first chapter in our Super Hero Adventure. We will also learn about how George
Washington organized Patriot spies to win the Revolutionary War – and do some little
spy techniques ourselves.

READING MINUTES:
Please keep track of reading minutes at home with “Reading Riches” For every 100 minutes read at home, students
will collect a jewel to add to their Reading Riches medallion here at
school. Please just sign off on the
number of minutes read each night and we will keep track of them here at
school. I know families are busy and
have a lot going on. If there is a night
when you just simply don’t have time to read, that’s ok – just sign off when
your child gets a chance to read!
