The March is reading month calendar was sent home last week. There are a lot of important dates and fun activities for your students to follow. If you need a new calendar email me and I will send it to you. Keep recording reading minutes on your learning target sheet!

Writing:
Students have been working hard making their realistic fiction stories the best they can be, and this week we are illustrating them. We will be giving a post assessment Monday, so students should be brainstorming ideas over the weekend about what they are going to write about for that. I will give them more details Friday. Then we will start a new unit!
Math:
We are continuing on unit 6, and students have started to explore area and perimeter this week. Keep reviewing quadrilaterals if you can. We've been trying to make more connections to things that we see regularly that are quadrilaterals :)
Social Studies:
Last week we focused on the assembly line. Students created a cart independently and then with a group to see how much more efficient it is. This week we discussed push and pull factors of Michigan. Next week we are moving on to how these factors still influence Michigan.
Other News:
- Running club practice starts this upcoming Monday, March 5.
- Parent teacher conferences will be held March 14th and 20th.
- We will be previewing the book fair as a class March 20, and we will be shopping March 22.
