·      IMPORTANT SHILOH news! Your child was sent home with a copy of Shiloh, PLEASE read together at home and end the book with our Marshall movie night on May 19th. The flyer with movie information was sent home as well. I look forward to the reading and movie! 
·      The Core Value for the month of April is, Perseverance. I would like the students to persevere through their school work even when they might feel like they want to give up.  Also, persevering through the school day as our energy levels may decrease.

·      THANK YOU Natalie and Grace for providing yummy snacks for the class!

Next Week:
Literature.
We will start our literature study on Tuesday as we read a classical favorite, Charlotte’s Web! What a hit! We have LOVED reading about baby Wilbur and Fern.  Next week we will read chapters 5-10 while focusing on vocabulary, summarizing, and sequencing.  Ask your child about our story. 

Science
Our extra unit time will be Social Studies based as we completed a large habitat unit recently and are digging deep with Westward Expansion.

Social Studies
Next week we will continue to focus on the route, challenges, transportation, and dangers of the Oregon Trail. 

Math
Repeated addition! Onto the building blocks of multiplication, the students are very excited about it! We will be using math manipulatives such as counters and shapes as we make equal groups.  After the concepts of repeated equal groups have been mastered we will be using number sentences to show repeated addition. 

Thank you all for taking the time to see what we have to look forward to.  The end of the year is quickly approaching; third grade is just around the corner! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
