Fun With QR Codes!
Math Meeting!
Persuasive Planning!
Hello, Families!
I hope you had a wonderful week! We sure did! :)
Please be familiar with the new library rules. As of Monday, students will not be allowed to check out if any books are overdue. This rule is in effect for all Sipley students. Please encourage your children to have their books ready to return or renew on MONDAYS (library day)!
Your child may be talking about our increased use of iPads in the classroom. Students love the QR code readers, and they may begin pointing out QR codes to you. Challenge your child to find QR codes around him or her. With your permission and guidance, encourage your child to scan the QR codes and read the linked information (there are many free QR readers to download).
Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a wonderful weekend!
Please ask your child:
Reading
- Did you take any AR tests this week? How did you do?
- Give me some examples of synonyms. Give me some examples of antonyms. How can synonyms and antonyms improve your writing?
- Did you read with Mrs. LaCrosse this week? What did you read about? What did you learn?
Writing
- What are some important parts of a persuasive essay (introduction, reasons/details, conclusion)?
- What is your persuasive essay about? What are your reasons? Details?
- You learned you should include a CALL TO ACTION as your last sentence in your conclusion. Tell me what your "call to action" is.
Math
- You will be taking your Unit 3 test next week. This week, you reviewed for the test. Is there anything with which you need help? (Parents, please see the link below to go to the math curriculum).
Please encourage your child's use of IXL at home to support the learning at school!
Partners, Practice, and iPads!
