News From Mrs. Jose's Class
September 28- October 2, 2015
A Special Guest!
What will you find us doing this week?
We are reviewing multiplication strategies such as; repeated addition, arrays, grouping, and skip counting with a number line.
- To practice your multiplication skills at home play rock, paper, scissors, multiply.
- You could also play the card game War using multiplication. Each player draws two cards and multiplies their two numbers together (leave out the J,Q, and K). Which ever play has the highest number wins.
Writing
This week we are starting our Personal Narrative unit. On Monday we did a pre-assessment where we wrote about a special time spent with a special person in our lives. We will get new partners and writing spots this week as we begin to form seed ideas for our writing.
Reading
Looking at a character in a book from the outside to determine what kind of person they are requires a lot of thinking and evidence from the text. When reading at home with your student ask them what type of person their characters in their books are and ask how they know. Students should respond with, "I think ____ (character) is _____ (an adjective or description of character traits) because __________ (evidence from the text).
Social Studies
This week we learned about the early hunters and gathers in Indiana. On Thursday students will present their skits, iMovies, and posters showcasing what they learned.
