Dear Parents,
April is always a busy month and this April is no different. Lacrosse, swimming lessons, softball, and baseball are all in full swing; which can mean late nights and unusual schedules. Please remember that somewhere homework needs to fit in.
Math
In math we will finish our work with adding and subtracting money amounts on Monday. Students worked on this standard last week as well.
This week students will be focusing on adding up to four numbers to find a sum as well as word problems involving 2 steps.

Language
Our work in language is all about determining the meaning of words. Last week and the beginning of this week students have been using context clues to help them to understand the meaning of unfamiliar words. We will be using our read aloud book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane to help us with this standard.
Students will finish out the week using prefixes (re, un, mis, pre, dis,..) to help determine the meaning of words. This work will continue into next week.
Writing
Students will be working on informative writing this week and probably into next week. In this informative writing students will partner to create a slide show on an animal. Students will begin this week with researching their animal. They will need to make slides about their animal’s characteristics, habitat, diet, enemies, defenses, and lifespan.
Projects
Students have been observing their bean plants. We have learned about the main parts (roots, stem, and leaves) of the plant and the roles they play in helping a plant grow. We also spent time discussing the life cycle of a plant. We will continue learning about plants for the next 2 weeks.
Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!! Hopefully the weather will stay spring like and everyone will be able to celebrate the holiday surrounded by family and friends!
Sincerely,
Anne Bloomfield
