Ms. McSorley's News
April 11 - 15
Friendly Reminders & Important Dates
Just a reminder that your child should be reading at least 15 minutes each night. Please let me know if you need more fish scales!
The math sheets sent home each night are optional, but I ask that you at least discuss the topic with your child. If they demonstrate a strong understanding, feel free to recycle the homework. If you sense that your child is struggling with the topic, choose at least 2 - 4 problems to practice together. Thank you for your continued support at home!
Literacy
Our spelling words this week will include the letter 'y' making an 'i' sound. Our words are as follows:

In Writer's Workshop, we have finished our first draft copies of our fiction stories. We will start our final copies this week!
Math
In Topic 16, we will review addition strategies such as doubles, doubles +1, and doubles +2. We will use these strategies for numbers through 18.
Science / Social Studies
In social studies, we will be focusing on rights and responsibilities. Students will learn that rights are things that we are free to do. We will also learn that responsibilities are things that we should do.
