Dear Parents,
We had another busy week in Language Arts: In reading we focused on Voracious reading and began looking at the Monitor and Fix up strategy. In writing we practiced writing supporting sentences for a topic sentence. We also continued on with our novel study, grammar (capital letters), and Monthly News.
Next week, in reading we will continue to focus on the Monitor and Fix Up strategy and using prior knowledge to connect with a text. In writing we will continue practicing writing paragraphs with a clear topic sentence and connected supporting sentences. We will also start thinking about closing sentences.
This week in Math, we concluded our time with subtraction with subtraction word problems. We also began looking at multiplication with a focus on arrays.
Next week we will continue with multiplication. It is important that students practice their multiplication facts. The quicker they get at reciting their facts the easier the next steps in multiplication will be.
Speech Arts is not too far away. Please practice the scripture passages at home with your child as we do not do this in school. I have received a couple of poems from students in the week. Please send a copy of your child's poem choice. If your child chose one of the poems from the class dojo posts, I just need the name of the poem and I can make a copy myself. These poems must be a minute long and memorized.
Reminders:
No School Monday
