In Writing Workshop this week we will continue the writing process and write creative, imagination stories to share with the class on Friday.

In Word Work we are reviewing High Frequency Words. I will assess the students on their ability to spell the words, use them in their writing and read them correctly. No enrichment this week.

In Math this week we will be problem solvers and work to solve two step word problems. We will begin working a problem in a sequential order. The students will be expected to show a strategy used to solve the problem, a number sentence and write an explanation of how they solved the problem.

In Science this week we will begin our study of plants. We discussed seeds today and started soaking our seeds so that we can plant them in soil tomorrow. We will watch our seeds and see what they grow into!

Have a great week! Do a rain dance!!
