Math - We are learning multiple strategies for addition and subtraction problems, along with techniques for rounding.
Reading - Students will continue asking and answering questions in both fiction and nonfiction texts. They will use graphic organizers to summarize elements of story, focusing on characters, setting, problem and solution. Small group instruction, read alouds, and whole class discussions are a part of our daily reading habits. My goal is to instill a love for reading in all children!
Writing - In writing students have been collecting entries in their writing notebook for possible stories. Students will work on adding specific details, dialogue, and elaboration while focusing on spelling, punctuation and proper capitalization. They will publish a small moment narrative story next week.
Science - The Human Body
Homework and Agenda -
Your initials in your child’s agenda serves as confirmation that your child has completed their reading and you have checked their agenda for homework assignments. Please also check the color I use to sign your child’s agenda. Any color other than “green” will be accompanied by a note either from your child or myself. We are experiencing some difficulty with following class/school expectations, kindness and respect towards others, and a focus on completing assignments both independently and in small groups. Thank you!
