Our Classroom Could Use....
- Looseleaf Paper (Wide Ruled)
- Snacks for snack cabinet
Thanks for your help!
Here's What We're Working On....
Writing: This week we will continue to develop our persuasive essay evidence! Finding evidence and making it "fit" into the essay is no easy task. Students are working really hard practicing the moves of an essayist!
Social Studies: We learned about the early explorers of Wisconsin last week and each student created a "Chatterpix" (Ask your child to show you) to give a quick overview of an explorer and the impact he had on our state.
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: We have been learning how to research informational text and practicing the moves that readers make when reading for information. The structure of note taking, importance of rereading information and also, how to pull out main ideas and details as readers. We have been learning all about natural disasters and your child has been becoming an expert on one!
