We are now beginning Unit 10 in Language Arts. Below are the sight words, oral vocabulary words, letters, and sounds we will be mastering during the next 3 weeks.  In addition, we continue to read decodable books and passages. Encourage us to read the passages we bring home each week for our reading challenge. We are also writing sentences about the texts we read.

As a class in math, we will be exploring measurement; length, height, and weight. Individually, the students are working to master their current selected math standard. Ask them about their Nearpod lessons and encourage them to try the challenge activity when they master the math standard.

In science and STEM, we are exploring forces and motions. We are working together in small groups to solve problems using the principles of force and motion that we are learning.
