Dear Families,
It was great to see many of you at parent conferences! If you would like a conference and did not schedule one, please contact your child’s homeroom teacher.
Math:
This week, we continued to investigate the relationship between repetitive addition and multiplication. Students calculated the cost for arrays of stamps. Also, they used a clown fish named Chloe to find the length, height, and widths of other items. We will continue to build proportional reasoning during unit two. Please remember that students should still practice their math facts!
Reading:
As a culmination of our unit on reading fluency, students will be engaging in Reader’s Theater. This is an opportunity to practice the skills they have learned in class by reading scripts from plays. It’s a lot of fun!
Writing:
Students are continuing to work with their narrative pieces. They are building upon their drafts to make them stronger. The next piece of writing will be informational. They will learn to write a report by integrating it into our science unit on the Rain Forest.
Social Science:
Students have begun to investigate how the regional environment affected the culture of the Native Americans who lived there. Next week, we will be looking more in depth at the Eastern Woodland region.
Halloween:
As you know, Halloween is held on a Monday this year. We will be celebrating in our classrooms from 1:00 - 1:45. Students will be able to wear costumes at the party only. They will have to change again at the end of the day. We ask that students do not wear makeup or anything scary or violent (such as blood, swords, guns, etc.)
