Week 4

TGIF!!!

We have been very busy learning lots of fun stuff this week! Here’s what we have been working on in…

Spelling: The kids worked on spelling activities and took their spelling quiz this morning.

Grammar: We talked about common and proper nouns and there was an assessment on that this morning as well.

Reading: We were introduced to a new CAFE strategy, Voracious Reading! Please have conversations with your child and encourage them to use these strategies as they are reading at home.

Writing: The kids have been working very hard on their personal narratives. They did an AWESOME job coming up with some very clever hooks!

Social Studies: The kids took the Economics test on Tuesday. Those grade came home in the Thursday folders yesterday.

Science: We began our unit on water and weather! We talked about the different states of matter, the water cycle, and various forms of precipitation.

Math: The kids have been doing an AWESOME job with adding and regrouping this week! I am so proud of how hard they are working! It’s hard having math at the end of the day but they are doing a great job!

Next week in…

Spelling: I have posted the week 4 spelling words. Please remember that some of your kids will have a different list than what I have attached. They will get this list from Mrs. Burns on Monday.

Grammar: We will be talking about singular and plural nouns and will have an assessment on Friday.

Reading: We will continue discussing themes of books and learning new strategies to use while reading! There will be an assessment on Friday over theme.

Writing: I will go over with the students how to improve their writing.

Science: We will be discussing clouds. Your child will be required to do some cloud observations at home.

Math: The kids will learn the standard algorithm for subtraction and regrouping (borrowing)! Please work with your child on these skills as they are crucial to understand before learning other, more challenging, math concepts.

Parent To-Do:

• I have been posting grades online, please log into ParentVue and check your child’s grades if you haven’t already. If you do not have the login information, you will need to go to the office to pick that up.
• If you have not returned the Edmodo permission sheet, please return it. I want to begin using that for homework assignments.
• Class t-shirt orders were due today, but if you forgot to turn in the form, it’s not too late! Send in the money with the attached blue paper on Monday!
• Sign up for Remind if you haven’t already, you can find the invite sheet that tells you how to sign up under the Parent Resources tab.

If you have any questions, please let me know!
