Week of 4/13-4/17

Ahoy!

It has been a great first week back! The kids dove right back into our routines and are really showing how much they have learned. Here is what we are doing this week:

Reading: Finishing up our learning on salmon. We are always working on skills like finding the main idea, talking about characters, setting, and comparing and contrasting story elements.

Math: We ended up not taking our unit 4 test before spring break... this week we will take the post test and start our next unit. The next unit focuses heavily on multiplication and division! PLEASE KEEP PRACTICING FACTS AT HOME! Here is a website to help practice: http://www.multiplication.com/games/play/quick-flash-ii
