Hi Families,
We will be taking a Community Walk next Tuesday! We will be walking through the neighborhood and to our local McDonald's restaurant for a treat. Your child will be encouraged to bring no more than $5 so they can buy themselves a treat. I will not be holding onto their money for them. They will use this as a learning experience on how to order and pay for themselves.
Picture Day is on Wednesday! If you are ordering pictures you should send in the order form by Wednesday.
Parent Conferences are next week! I can't wait to meet with each of you to set some goals for the year and to discuss your child's progress with you.
Reading
We are continuing to practice "asking questions" about the text we read. Ask your child to create a few "I wonder..." questions after he or she reads from their book, and check to see if they can answer their own questions.
Small reading groups begin today!
Spelling
The spelling pattern this week is "word families". Each of the words in the list will contain one of these endings: -ay, -an, -ip, -old, -ack, and -own.
The spelling test will be on Friday.
Math
This week we will be practicing our mental math skills, as well as, rounding and estimating numbers.
If your child is struggling with homework and you are not sure how to help, please encourage them to bring their textbook home so that you can reveiw the lesson with them. This might help some frustration that your child may be having.
Writing
We completed the first draft of our stories. Now we will revise, edit and publish our stories.
Social Studies
We are still studying communities and will review the differences between urban, rural and suburaban communities.
Science
We will continue learning about solar energy by experimenting with sun beads and the effectiveness of UV strengths in various sunscreens.
