Classroom News
Math
- This week we are assessing on double digit addition. Expect that their graded tests come home on Thursday in their Thursday folders. They will also pretest on Chapter 4 and begin subtraction this week.
- If you would like to work on math with your child at home, you have access to their eBook and lessons at home. Have them log into their ConnectEd account. Their password should be on their PW sheet, which can be found on Google Drive. If you are unable to find it, please send me an email and I will be happy to get it for you.
Reading
Guided Reading
- 9:00-9:45: Parent Volunteers and I meet with your child, ask comprehension questions, and break apart unknown words. So far this school year, we have used Storia. Storia is an online, digital library.
Reading Strategy Time
- 9:45-10:15: Students are working on strategies during reading flooding time.
- Some of the strategies include relating ideas, context clues, distinguishing important information, literary elements, making judgments, inferences/conclusions, and text structures.
Writing
- This week students are working on their individual word sorts, a friendly letter, reading responses and blogs.
- There should be at least 1 blog posted this week.
- Here is the link to your child's blog page. You can find their blog page by their initials. Feel free to leave comments on blog pages. If you could write 2 glows (things they are doing well) with 1 grow (things they need to work on). The support would be great!
