Homework: The math packet is due on Friday. Be sure to return your
math and signed reading
log in your yellow homework folder on Friday. Keep working on the timeline project. Remember we are only
using ten pictures. I explained to the class that it should be pictures that
span their lifetime. Your support is greatly appreciated for this project.
Language Arts/Social Studies: We will be working with au/aw words in our word work. The children are having learning about the continents. We will work on
Australia and Antarctica. In writing we will continue our opinion work. In reading we are
continuing our work on inferring. We will be reading an article about trophies for
participation. The students will find the evidence for the yes and the no side.
Then they will form their opinion, complete the opinion pillar, and write the
paragraph.
Mathematics: We are working on chapter 17 on graphs and line plots
this week. Please read the School to Home Connection on this chapter. The
students will be answering questions about picture graphs and will be creating
picture graphs. Students will learn that reading the key to find out how much
the symbol is worth is very important.
Science: The States of Matter
presentation from the Museum of Science scheduled
for last Friday
got cancelled. We are working on rescheduling it.
Ways you can help at home: Show your child graphs
that you find as you are reading. Together create a picture graph of your
child’s toys or crafts. Look for au/aw words in books. Begin to look through
pictures or talk about important dates in your child’s life for the timeline
project. Write an opinion piece with your child. Talk about the reasons for
your opinion on various topics. Ask your child to give you his or her opinion
and the reasons why he or she feels that way.
Writing Journals: Please enjoy your child’s journal and make sure it comes
back for Tuesday.
Sign
and return your child’s Friday Reflection.
