On Monday, we had our first lesson with Blue Sky Bridge. Hopefully your child shared the short handout that was sent home on Monday about body safety and the touching rules. They will visit our classroom again on 1/27, 2/3, and 2/10.
Literacy:
We completed our humorous text set and completed a short opinion writing about which of the texts we read was
the funniest. We also started a realistic fiction genre study this week.

Math:
This week, we continued Unit 4, Addition and Subtraction of Multi-digit Numbers. We worked on rounding numbers
to the nearest hundred and ten. Please practice rounding with your child at the store and when you are going out
to eat by asking questions like: About how much money do you think we are going to spend? Students also
explored strategies to add multi-digit numbers. Next week we will continue reviewing addition strategies and start
to explore multidigit subtraction with regrouping.

This week we continued our Metric Measurement and Matter unit. We are investigating the characteristics of
the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. We are also learning about how matter can change phases.

Please help your child to remember to complete their homework each night and return it the next day.
Often, at this time of year, we can see motivation for school drop a bit. Encourage your child to continue to
do their best work and try their hardest while they are in school. We appreciate all of your support from home.
