Week ending 3/10/17

We've had a great week and it's been so nice to meet with many of you at conferences.  Next week, Ms. Kariotis takes over again as part of her student teaching.

A few reminders:

• Depending on the weather, please send in clothes accordingly for recess.  
• There will be more information regarding field trips as it gets closer.  If you were chosen out of the box to chaperone, you have been emailed.  Thank you to everyone who has offered!

3, 2, 1, things you should know this week...

3 skills we worked on in math are adding and subtracting double digit and three digit numbers while explaining how we solved them to a partner, learning about estimating, when we might estimate, and how it goes with rounding  numbers, and we practiced comparing numbers through number stories.  

* Ask you child which addition strategy they feel most comfortable with and have them show you an example.  

2 reading skills we've worked on are creating questions or wonderings in our mind regarding fiction and non-fiction stories and comparing Ivy and Bean's friendship to one of our own using evidence from the text.  

1 read aloud book we listened to was Recess at 20 Below.  

* Ask your child what it's like when the students in Alaska go out for recess when it's 20 degrees below zero.
