Conversation Starters
As a way to foster conversations with your child about what we are learning, please ask him/her the following:
What have you learned this week about magnets?
Magical Mathematicians
Please read the following problem with your child and help him solve the problem.
Have your child create his own subtraction word problem. Write the equation and illustrate.
(If your child is ready, perhaps challenge him with higher numbers, perhaps numbers 15-20.)
Your child can earn a special reward by drawing a picture to illustrate the math problem above. Please return the math work on Monday.
Reading in Action
Read a story to your child. Ask your child...
How does the story start? How does the story end?
Literacy Workstations
Writers Workshop
As writers, we can use mentor texts to notice, name and try out moves that other authors make.
Reading Workshop

Math Workshop
As mathematicians, we can solve subtraction problems.
Social Sciences
As Scientists, we can investigate magnets to learn what magnets are and how they work.
Shared Reading
As readers, we can tell what the characters are thinking, feeling and saying.
Environmental Science Activities
Keion's collection of Pet the Cat books.
Family Activities
Please share family activities with us. We will try to provide time for your child to share about their special activities in class and also post some of the pictures in our newsletter. This is a great way for us to share with one another and build our classroom community/family.
