What is happening in RM 16?
Week of August 22nd
For the next couple weeks, the kids will be grouped by interest for reading groups. We will be reading chapter books. The books not necessarily be on your child's grade level as we are really going to focus on how to have effective discussions and thinking deeper while reading independently. You child will be given a section of reading to do each night and will have a small job to do as they read. These will be listed on their bookmark. Our group time will be spent discussing what they read so they should have their reading done before group time. Thank you in advance for your support on this, as I know it's not always easy to get your child to read. I'm hoping they will be excited about this since it is something new.
**Please make sure your child has their reading and their "job" done before school the next day. They are assigned one "job" each night.
Math:
Focus Skill: Place Value
We will be working on numbers in the ten-thousands. Reading and writing numbers fluently is a major focus in this unit. You can do quick check in's at home by saying a number to your child 3x's and then checking the number. You can also write a number and have them read it back to you. After reading the number to you, go a step further and have them identify places/values (ex. What number is in the thousands place? What is the value of the 7 in this number? etc.)
Your child will not be given homework in math unless they have work they have not finished. I will continue to give you suggestions on how to help your child succeed!! I will also be sending out websites for practice as soon as I get the kids signed up for them!!
