Reading: Our weekly reading story
this week is Exploding Ants. This week in reading we will be focusing on
word choice, making inferences, and the use of figurative language in texts. We
have worked on all of these over the past couple weeks, but these are all
things we need
extra practice with! I am confident that after a week of hard work
all students will be pros J
Math: This week in math we will be
continue our work with area. Last week we studied finding the area of
rectangles. This week will work on finding the area of triangles,
parallelograms, etc. This can be a very tricky concept! I have encouraged
students to bring home their student reference books in case these may be of
help when working on Study Links.
Writing: This week in writing
students will practice brainstorming and planning. We did some practice with
this today and the students did great! Towards the end of the week we will
focus on the organization of our writing. Students will work on tying
beginnings to endings and doing so in a way that will HOOK our readers.
Spelling: Students will have a
spelling test on Thursday over the words for Exploding Ants.
Social Studies: Please contact your
child’s Social Studies teacher for an update in this subject.
Science: Please contact Mrs. Smith for an update in this subject!
Other Notes:
Many students still need to turn in their permission slips and $4
in order to roller skate in gym. I have only received these from a few
students. These are due Friday! J
If any parents would like to donate to our Valentine’s Day party,
or volunteer to help out please feel free to email me! I have two parents that
have volunteered to organize the party, but any extra help is always
appreciated. Thank you!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
