Here are a few pictures of what we've been doing in class! Please read your newsletter, which was e-mailed out today and can also be found under News You Can Use, to read more specific details about what we're learning!
 |
| Place Value Snowman to represent a number in many ways! |
 |
| We can represent numbers through 1,000 in each of these ways! |
 |
| We have been learning how opinion reviews are organized with a clear opinion, at least three reasons/examples, and a closing sentence that restates our opinion. |
 |
| We read real reviews written by kid critics and wrote down what we noticed about how they were alike, so that we could match these traits in our own writing. |
As you can see, last week was a busy and fun week! This week we'll continue to learn about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., start learning about counting and solving word problems involving money to $5.00, and continue reading folktales and fairy tales! We're growing smarter every day!
Love,
Mrs. Kidd
