Dear Parents:
Week at a Glance
This week in handwriting we are reviewing cursive lowercase letters “a”, “d”, “c”, “g”, and “q”. In reading we are continuing our novel study of Charlotte’s Web. During science we are practicing more with coding and problem solving with robots. This week’s language lessons are reviewing nouns and abbreviations. In math we are adding three-digit numbers and preparing for our unit test. In social studies we are continuing our research of American inventors for our “Celebrating America: 250 Years in the Making” Fair (History Fair). During religion we are learning about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead and how He rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.

The 3D project options are:
