Busy week

Tuesday was picture day/ 2 hr delay day. It was nice sleeping in, wasn't it?

In Reading and Writing we are working on Author's purpose. Why do writers write? To entertain, persuade, or inform us. When your child is reading ask them, "Why do you think the author wrote this?"

In Math we are working on putting numbers into standard, expanded, and word form. For example if you have the number 76,891(standard form), you could write it in expanded form like this 70,000+6,000+800+90+1, or seventy six thousand, eight hundred ninety-one (word form).

This week in Science we have been learning about the Phases of the Moon. Tomorrow we will be making Oreo Moon Phases in class, which the kids are very excited about. I'm sure some eating of Oreos will be involved, so come on in and share one of them with us!

PTO meeting/ open house is tomorrow, hope to see you there!

Friday is almost here!
