Happy Fall! Things are finally starting to cool down. You may want to send a jacket or sweater with your child to stay at school. Please write their name in it if you do.
Here's what we're working on: Reading - Reading with expression and fluency. Finding the main idea, sequencing events, finding the problem and solution. Ways you can help - Read at least 5-10 min. daily orally; your child should be reading silently several times a week, if not daily
Math - We're still working on adding and subtracting with and without regrouping, rounding/estimating, story problems. We will be moving toward elapsed time. Ways you can help - Please review telling time with your child. Money needs to be reviewed as well, both counting and making change.
Grammar - We work on Daily Oral Language which involves editing sentences, definitions, misspellings, etc. Ways you can help - Encourage and model good grammar for your children.
Science - We're finishing up rocks and fossils and are moving on to landforms. Ways you can help - Point out different landforms as you're driving, watching tv, etc.
Remember students only receive 5 new spelling words each week but they are expected to remember words from previous weeks and years.
