**READING/SPELLING ---- Practice Spelling words every night. Absolutely NO capitalization unless it is at the beginning of a sentence. These are 5 points each. Dictation sentences must be written correctly, too.

We will learn how to use helping verbs:  am, is, are, was, were.

**MATH
This week students will tell time to the nearest hour and half hour. Practice on an analog clock at home (the one with hands).

 **Fact drill that counts for a grade this nine weeks is 50 subtraction facts, 3 minutes.  Again, the best out of nine tests will be counted.  Practice continues on 100 addition facts.
**SOCIAL SCIENCE:

Students will predict what plants need to grow.  We will study seeds and their development, too.
