Hello Families!
This week is Conference Week! Dismissal is at 12:15. Please make sure your child knows how he or she is getting home. If his or her regular transportation is changing, please, please, please send in a note or write it down in the agendas.
At Addison, our conferences are led by the student, so please remember to bring your child back when it is your conference time.
Here's a look at our learning this week:
In math, we are continuing with multiplication and division with 2s, 5s, and 10s. We are working on our fluency with these facts and will focus more on word problems with these facts in class as well. We will have a math test on Friday. Your child will be expected to multiply and divide by 2s, 5s, and 10s. He or she will also be expected to solve division and multiplication word problems using these facts.
We will be combining reading and our health standards this week as we read about the negative effects of tobacco, drugs, and alcohol. This will tie in perfectly with our RED RIBBON WEEK activities.
In science, we will continue learning about weathering and erosion. We will learn about how wind, water, ice, and plants can all cause weathering and erosion. We will have a short quiz on Friday.
We are also hoping to finish our informational soil writing that we began last week.
It will be a busy week!
As always, let me or Mrs. Levi know if you have any questions or concerns.
Don't forget about our Red Ribbon Activities:
