What is happening in RM 16?
Week of September 5th
Reading:
Focus Skill: Identify Main Idea and Supporting Details
We will begin reading groups this week!! These are flexible groupings and can change throughout the school year. Please make sure your child is reading each night. One way you can support our learning is by asking your child to tell you the Main Idea of the chapter(s) they read that night and ask for some details to support what they say! :)
Writing:
Genre: Personal Narratives (My Memorable "First")
We are brainstorming for our first writing activity-thinking back to all of the "firsts" we've experienced...first day of school, first time catching a fish, first time riding a bike without training wheels, etc. If you would like to talk to your child about this and get their wheels turning I would love it!! :)
We will begin our spelling groups this week as well! I have placed some ideas on how to practice at home inside of one of the clear page protectors. They will keep their lists for 2 weeks. Spelling can also be practiced on Spelling City (sort name is listed on their weekly snapshot).
Math:
Focus Skill: adding 3-digit numbers with and without regrouping
Science: Scientific Process
Ask your child about our Fun with Gas and Alka Seltzer Rocket experiments. Next week we will be doing a Grow Creatures Investigation!
SNACKS
(**I also encouraged the kiddos to start helping with snacks and lunches ;) Hoping they could take something off of your plates**)
Weekly Snapshot
Please sign the back letting me know you have seen and discussed this with your child. I will have them keep it in their binders so that we can use them to reflect.
