Math
In math this week we continued to work on building our place value understanding through...
- rounding to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, and hundred thousand.
- constructing arguments using our understanding of place value.
- adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers using our understanding of place value.
- estimating sums and differences.
Next week we will be learning the traditional algorithms for addition and subtraction. Feel free to practice these strategies at home!
Remember we also assign Online Practice Buddies as optional homework. Mrs. Wood is so awesome and created a step-by-step guide on how to access the Practice Buddies at home! Although optional, these are great resources for students and parents to practice math concepts being taught at school!
Pearson Practice Buddies make for a great review of each day's learning. Follow the step-by-step guide to accessing this resource.

Science
Next week we will begin rotating classes for our science units. The Ninjas will be heading to Mrs. Woods room to learn all about Motion and Design! Science class will take place on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Writing
We are well into our first fiction writing unit! Students focused on developing realistic fiction story ideas with believable characters. This week we...
- developed believable characters by thinking about their internal and external traits.
- gave our characters motivations and struggles.
- planned out story arcs, thinking about how our fiction stories may go!
Reading
In our Interpreting Characters unit, we focused on...
- reading intensely in our books by creating movies in our heads as we read.
- thought about character traits and how to describe our characters.
- staying engaged and focused readers by talking about choosing a perfect reading spot so we can read the entire time.
Remember, your child is required to read 30 minutes nightly!
