Students will learn to think about the character's actions, think about the character's relationships with other characters, and learn to pay attention to the clues that the character gives in the book to help readers predict. It will be a fun week to get to know our characters and work with our SERIES BOOK CLUBS.

In grammar, we will continue to look at VERBS. This week, we will focus on PAST TENSE, PRESENT TENSE, and FUTURE TENSE verbs.
Math --
In mathematics, we will be learning new strategies to help us add three digit numbers, with and without regrouping.
Initially, we will use base ten blocks, which is a familiar math tool, to help us add.
During this time we will focus on regrouping 10 ones for a ten.
Students will also be introduced to the partial sums strategy.
Be sure to check your child’s math notebook for examples of these problems!
Later this week, students will be participating
in a St. Patrick’s Day Unlock Challenge!!
