Math Updates
This week in Math we began Unit 6! We are talking ALL ABOUT Multiplication Strategies!!!!
Building a READING LIFE
This week we continued exploring poetry. We read poems with Ididoms, Onomatopoeia, Alliteration, SImiles, Metaphors, and Personification.
Word Study
Monday nights- Students are to sort their words and record them in their notebooks. They are to also record their discovery or rule for the week.
Tuesday and Wednesday nights- Students should sort their words and read them as they sort. They can practice writing them on paper, whiteboards, or typing them. NO WRITTEN homework is required on these nights.
Thursday nights- Students are to ask an adult to quiz them on their words. They write the headers and then record the words as they are called out. The adult should use the notebook to correct the sort and ask the student to practice any words that were spelled incorrectly. This can be done on the back of the homework sheet. This paper should then be returned to school Friday morning.
Friday- there will be a test given
Writing long & strong
