Again, this is a short week. Students will attend school on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Parent Teacher Conferences will be held Wednesday evening and all day on Thursday. We will still have a spelling test on Wednesday of this week.
Language:
This week in Language, we are concentrating on the Genre of Poetry. The students will be listening to different types of poems; some with rhyming patterns, and some without. The culmination of this genre study will conclude with each student writing and publishing their own poems.

Last week we learned and reviewed four subtraction strategies. These strategies are as follows:
- Place Value Drawing
- Expanded form subtraction with "new groups" (regrouping)
- Traditional Method with "new groups"
- Left to Right Subtraction with "new groups"
Please continue watching for math homework to come home. It is due the following day. If the homework is late, 20% of the final grade is deducted daily.

Our class is studying why and where communities start. The students are also learning what resources are necessary for a community too function.
