Week of February 13-17

W.A.L.T.:

• understand the characteristics of realistic fiction books (using Abdullah's Butterfly as an example)
• sustain our writing focus on longer pieces of work through the continuation of our realistic fiction books (based on the ideas of Beatrice's Goat)
• identify prefixes and the fact that their meanings change the meaning of a base word
• use extended multiplication facts to answer 'multiplication puzzles'
• apply problem solving strategies to solve our Open Response
• create a brochure that will be useful for our Read to Feed project (more info coming home next Monday)

NEWS:

Friday we will attend a 3rd grade assembly on Read to Feed.

There are three games that focus on prefixes under the Reading Language Arts Links section.

Tuesday is Valentine's Day and students may come in holiday attire. 

We will have a small celebration in the classroom with donuts for Valentine's Day.
