Miss Lotter's Leaders
Parent Newsletter January 11-January 15
HELLO PARENTS!
PEEK AT THE WEEK!
Math: In math this week, we are continuing our unit on fractions. Be on the look out for a lot of resources over the quarter to support your child in this area.
Language Arts: We will continue accountability in daily five this week! Each day, the students will track their choices and what they accomplished during each round. Students will have the option to listen to reading, read to someone, read to self, work on words, and work on writing.
-We are focusing on how to determine the main idea of an informational text, as well as, how to effectively summarize a text.
In writing, we will be starting a new narrative unit.
Social Studies: We are going to be wrapping up our unit on economy.
