SCIENCE
We have also been continuing our study of forces. This week we focused on friction. We explored how friction slows down or stops objects.
READING
In reading we have been continuing to read Because of Winn Dixie. We will have been using this story to study the components of narrative text. We will also be reading a great story called Wolf! this week. We will be using these stories to continue to work on our fluency and comprehension.
Homework and Reading Calendars
Our first homework came home today! Homework will be handed out every Friday and due back on the following Wednesday. Homework may consist of a review of the weekly work completed in class & spelling. Parents will be required to look over the homework with their child.
In addition to weekly homework, we will also require a monthly reading calendar. Reading calendars will be due at the beginning of each month. Each month your child will be required to read a set amount of minutes. October calendars went home today! The reading goal for October is 200 minutes! Reading calendars will be due on or before October 31.
