Reading
This week in reading we focused on
MAGIC E!! Your child has a MAGIC E poem in
his/her ICR Notebook that we used as a
shared reading this week to learn about how
MAGIC E works. We went on a MAGIC E
word hunt in our GOOD FIT books and came
up with lots of examples of words with
MAGIC E!
We continue to work on practicing our
fluency and comprehension! Be sure to
continue to build and work on this at home by
having your child read EVERY NIGHT!
Homework
March homework is due
Friday, March 30th!
Remember to be reading for 20 minutes every

Lets get 100%
participation this month!!!
Math
In Math, we are working on fractions.
We need to know, understand and describe
and . We are also working on identifying time
to the hour. At home find some FUN ideas
to practice fractions (maybe with some
yummy pizza) and ask your child to tell you
the time using an analog clock! You can also
continue practicing those skills like counting
money, counting in different ways, story
problems and adding and subtracting.

MATH CONTWe took our first timed math fact test
this week. We are trying to complete 50
facts in 3 minutes. We are using these to
help us become more fluent at our math
facts. Our goal is that everytime we take
it, we do better than the previous time.This is strictly for fun
and practice. You
can print your own facts off on
mathfactcafe.com.
WRITING
SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!! This week
we wrote about all the things we love about
spring. Our learning target continues to
focus on punctuation and capitalization. We
are working hord to become more consistent
at doing this in all the writing that we do. As
your child writes at home be sure to remind
them to put punctuation at the end of a
sentence and a capital at the beginning!
