April 18-22


Reading and Writing
This week in language arts we will use the research we have collected to write a well-written and informative research paper. We will also begin working on our creative products that we will use to teach others and share what we have learned.

Math
We are beginning adding numbers with 3 digits this week. We will practice with whiteboards, flip books, and I-Spy activities. We will play games like Spin and Add to practice our new skills as well. We will also practice adding 3 digit numbers with word problems.

iXL has got some great practice activities in the I section. Make sure your child has paper and pencil though to write out the problems!



Science:
This week we will focus on food chains and webs.  We will work in teams to create a variety of food chains and discuss how the sun is an important part too.  We will learn about the sun’s movement and how that affects living things.  Consumers and producers will be compared and we’ll connect them to our ecosystem here at Caraway.  

Research question of the week:
What is the life cycle of an eel?
