Next week, we have PE on Wednesday. 

QUICK REMINDERS:

Spring Break-March 23-27

Dear Parents,

Thank you for coming to conferences! These meetings allow us to partner in your child’s growth and provide
them with a maximum amount of support. Thank you for all your support.  I talked to many of you about the
importance of practicing basic math facts consistently. Time in the car provides a good opportunity to orally
practice and memorize facts.
Flash Monster provides great free online flash card practice: https://www.factmonster.com/math/flashcards

Literacy:

We hope you enjoyed reading our Prairie Dog opinion texts this week.  We worked hard on getting them
published! This week students completed an informative piece about how prairie dogs are similar and different
from the kind of dog people keep as pets and wrote a narrative about a day in the life of a prairie dog. 

Math:

We completed our Geometry unit this week and took our chapter test.  We also started our next unit on
Fractions. By the end of this unit, students will understand:
How to write a fraction and a unit fraction for a part of a whole and for a number on a number line
Write equivalent fractions including fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers
Compare two fractions with the same denominator OR the same numerator
Solve real world problems involving fractions

Social Studies:

This week we completed a regions map of the US and started watching short videos and taking notes about
each region.  

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Sincerely, 

Mrs. Galt
