We hope everyone had a restful and relaxing week over the break.
Here are some conversation starters to hear more about your child's week: - "Is an inch or centimeter bigger? How many inches are in a foot? How many centimeters are in a meter? How do you think you did on your measurement assessment today?" - "Which 'how-to' topic do you think you are going to write about? Tell me the steps you wrote and let's see if you forgot anything?" - "What reasons did the author of Beavers are Problem Solvers give to prove the point that beavers are problem solvers?" - "Tell me something you learned about Mary Musgrove and Tomochichi." Highlights of our week: Math- We learned about centimeters and meters and how these measurements compared to inches, feet, and yards. We also practiced solving addition and subtraction word problems involving these measurements. We took an asessement on the concepts today so be on the lookout for these, and please go over any questions your child missed. Reading- Students worked on identifying the reasons authors used to support their points. We read some really interesting articles and practiced finding those points together and independently. Please continue to encourage your child to read every night and complete his/her reading log each week. Nightly reading is crucial to your child's reading success! Writing- We are working on procedural (how-to) writing. We kicked off our week by trying to blow a bubble with bubblegum and then write the steps we took to blow the bubbles. We had a lot of laughs during this! And some great bubble blowers as well!! Next, we began making our personal "expert" lists and chose a topic that we are going to focus on next week. Next week's Curriculum: Math: Two-step word problems Reading: Reading scientific texts and answering questions about the information read Writing: Procedural Writing (How-to) Continued Social Studies: James Oglethorpe Secret word of the week: Holiday We hope you all have a fabulous weekend! :) Mrs. Hess & Mrs. Rose
