"What Did You Do At School Today?"
By asking your child specific questions about his/her day you can [hopefully] avoid the response of "Nothing" when asking "What did you learn about at school today?" ..... Try prompting conversations with some of these questions!
Here's What We're Working On....
Math: This week we learned how to interpret remainders while solving division problems. We also continued practicing the process and dabble with different methods. Our Unit 3 assessment will be mid-week next week! **Please have your child continue to practice his/her facts in X-tra Math!
Writing: We wrote our introductions and conclusions this week! Additionally, we did a min-break out to learn about sentence fragments and run-on sentences. Next week we will continue to add details to our essays and begin the editing process to strengthen the writing moves we've been practicing in class!
Science: We're learning about static electricity!
Spelling: New Sort Next Week! Please check in each week and have your child show you his/her spelling assessment score. Again, they should be practicing their words at home every night!
Reading: Our discussions this week were focused around our research groups and how to effectively search for information in a resource. We will be continuing this process next week!
