Week of February 23rd

Four more chapters of The Lemonade War!  I wonder how it will end.  Will Evan and Jessie make up?



IMPORTANT! Please work on today's math homework (6-9) together.  This is a difficult kind of story problem to grasp for many students.  Even if you have a "math whiz" at home, please check to make sure they understand this skill.  We will have a quiz on Monday.

Reading Tip of the Week:
Gently correct your young reader. When your child makes a mistake, gently point out the letters he or she missed or read incorrectly. Many beginning readers will guess at words based on it's first letter.

  • What makes a story funny?-We will read "Little Rabbit's Tale?".
