Dear families,
Can you believe that we are right around the corner from Fall
Conferences already? Where does the time go? Okay, I just have to share
one more joke with you all... Why did the monster go to the food store?
... to get gross-eries!!! LOL Do we have some commedians amongst us,
or what? :D
Have a nice weekend with your families.
WRITING WORKSHOP
This week in Writing Workshop we will be moving away from story writing and begin factual writing. As a class, we will study bats and learn and write facts about them. Individually, your child will make a list of their interests. Then they will use books to learn more and write facts in their own words.
MATH
This week we will be working with patterns, relationships, and algebraic thinking. The students will recognize patterns in numbers and operations using a number line and hundreds chart. Next we will learn how numbers can be broken apart and put together in a variety of ways (decomposing and composing). We will continue problem solving that incorporates the processes of understanding the problem, making a plan, carrying out the plan, and evaluating the solution for reasonableness.
SCIENCE/SOCIAL STUDIES:
We have been learning about different types of communities, along with rules and laws, and being good citizens. Now we will begin focusing on the leaders in our communities. We will read and learn about the roles and responsibilities of leaders in various communities starting with our school principal, and then moving on to the mayor, governor, and finally the president.
READING WORKSHOP:
For the next two weeks we will be focusing on expository text. This week we will model how to think aloud the main idea and details. Your child will then practice talking about the main idea, details, and retelling the information in the book. We will introduce important aspects of expository text such as table of contents, index, glossary, labels, etc.
