**In math this week we did a ton of review work, focusing largely on 3 digit addition and subtraction, telling time, counting money and bills, refining our 3D shape and partitioning knowledge and solving problems. We are working our way through the year-end test as well.

*Students completed their research on a bird of their choice. They wrote a report from their notes, practiced drawing realistic pictures of their bird and typed their own report in Google Docs. I will now turn these into bookmarks! In writing, we have also been working on our memory books, writing letters to the third grade teachers and completing the year-end writing prompt.

*In reading workshop we have been doing a variety of comprehension work with Scholastic News, short passages and fiction texts. Some of the skills we have been refining are identifying the main idea and supporting details, making inferences, and answering questions about characters or factual information. 

*In phonics we worked on the suffixes -ible and -able and the prefixes uni, bi, tri. We also reviewed doubling rules when adding suffixes and when to drop the final e and how to spell words with -sion and -tion endings. 

*We will start to clear out our lockers and desks a bit at a time. If you can send a plastic bag or a recyclable grocery bag next week, it will help your child carry some extra items home so there is not a huge load on the last day.
