We're off to a great start this week! Students are learning to round numbers to the nearest ten and figure out whether answers to addition and subtraction problems are reasonable. We will continue to review this as is it a difficult concept.
FYI: math homework this week is not a math log but a cumulative review of chapters 1 through 4. This is not an assignment students can choose to do. I would like all students to complete it as best they can. Thanks for your help with this.
In reading, we will be working on the skill of inferring coming up this week. Students are working on their Write about Reading letters. Every week, they need to write a letter to me about a book they have read over the course of the week. They include the title of the book and what it is about as well as their reactions to the story. I am impressed with their ability to craft these letters. They do this all on the computer in class.
We have been talking about contractions in word work. We are also doing WIN groups twice a week. This cycle is revolving around word wall words, vocabulary, and phonics work.
We are beginning our study on weather. Kevin Skarupa will visit on Tuesday! We will be in the library doing a weather mobile project. We were able to use a weather CD in computer lab to kick off this unit.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
