Phonics/Grammar: 

Onomatopoeia

We will be using comics to learn about onomatopoeia and to review sentence types and sentence structure.

Math: Test on Friday

Continue to review borrowing/regrouping with your child. We have been working on this for a few weeks but it is still a little confusing for some students. I will provide a lot of extra practice in this area, on top of what Saxon math gives the students, but your child might still need a little extra help at home.

Science: Chapter 12 Electricity

This is our last lesson in our Energy unit. Mr. Smith will visit the class on 4/11. He will bring Ameren's Safety City with him to help the students better understand electricity. Students will get a bird's eye view of a little town's electrical system.

Important Information/Reminders:

Reflecting on our week: 

Students had fun using prisms to bend light.

 This week we used fairy tales and fractured fairy tales to help us compare and contrast.
