October 15-19

Parents,

We are starting a new story in writing this week. We are focusing on a time when we were sick. We will be thinking of details that tell our readers how we felt, what we missed doing, and what made us feel better. We will be editing our stories with a peer using a rubric and learning to use indentations in our paragraphs.

In reading, in between Daily 5 rounds, we will be looking at story elements. We will look closely at different stories and pick out the main characters, the problem, and the solution. Students will continue in their guided reading groups. I always look forward to listening to everyone read in their group. It is wonderful to see how each child is progressing!

Math: We are continuing with different subtraction strategies. We will be using addition problems to help us with subtraction. Later in the week, we will move onto Fact Families and we will end the week with focusing on strategies to help us solve word problems. We will have an assessment covering addition and subtraction on Friday.

Science: We are finishing up physical and chemical changes in the beginning of the week and will have an assessment on everything we have learned on Tuesday. Later in the week, we will be focusing on magnets as well as different types of energy.

Reminders:

The Give a Hoot Picnic is on Thursday, October 18th at 5:30 pm. Look for information in your child's Tuesday folder!

Have a great week!
