It was so great to see so many of you on Thursday evening at Parent Information Night. Please let me know if you have any questions about the class or things that we are working on.
This week:
Math- Our first test will be on Tuesday. It will cover "Topic 1" from our math book--which was all about numeration. We will take a practice test together on Monday, and then the actual test will be taken using the computers on Tuesday. There will be a copy of the directions to the "site" in Monday folders if you would like to preview the process. We will begin Topic 2, Number Sense: Addition and Subtraction, on Wednesday.
Reading- Our first theme test will be on Wednesday this week. We are continuing to practice the skill of Making Connections when we read. Last week in Daily 5 the students practiced how to "read to self" and how to "read to someone". This week we will continue practicing both of those reading types as well as add "word work" to the rotation. Word Work is our time to practice spelling activities.
Language Arts- We learned about nouns last week, and will shift our learning to verbs this week--specifically Action Verbs. We will also write stories that include a beginning, middle and end.
Spelling- The patterns for the week are "initial consonants", and the prefix "post-".
Science and Social Studies- We will continue to learn about solar energy with an experiment this week using sunscreeen. The boys and girls will learn the difference in 3 types of communities and practice identifying them- rural, suburban, and urban.
