Dear parents,
As we begin another wonderful week, we are looking forward to seeing you at our upcoming parent-teacher conferences as we celebrate an amazing school year together. Yes, the end is near! We encourage students to finish strong and continue giving their best effort. Please see below for what we will be working on this week.
Learning Goal
Students will write realistic fiction stories.
Students will be introduced to the elements of realistic fiction by creating stories inspired by their own experiences and imagining themselves as the characters.
Students make movies in their minds and let their stories unfold in theirs minds before writing them on paper.
Learning Goal
Comparación de personajes y continuidad en textos narrativos.
La próxima semana, los estudiantes profundizarán en la comprensión de textos narrativos mediante el análisis y comparación de personajes, identificando sus características, acciones, sentimientos y la manera en que enfrentan diferentes situaciones dentro de la historia. Además, trabajarán la continuidad en textos narrativos, reconociendo cómo los eventos se conectan de principio a fin y cómo las acciones de los personajes influyen en el desarrollo de la trama. A través de lecturas, conversaciones en grupo y actividades escritas, fortalecerán su capacidad para comprender, analizar y expresar sus ideas con evidencia del texto.
Para reforzar estos aprendizajes en casa, pueden leer juntos cuentos o historias cortas y conversar sobre los personajes, comparando sus características, acciones, sentimientos y decisiones. También pueden pedirle a su hijo(a) que relate la historia en orden, explicando qué sucedió al inicio, en el desarrollo y al final, para fortalecer la comprensión de la secuencia y continuidad de los textos narrativos. Hacer preguntas como *“¿En qué se parecen o diferencian estos personajes?”* o *“¿Qué pasó después y por qué?”* ayudará a desarrollar su pensamiento crítico y expresión oral.
Learning Goal
Students interpret products of whole numbers.
Matematicians will be multiplying using the commutative, associative, and distributive properties, as well as multiplying to 100 using strategies, amd solving two-step story problems using addition, subtraction and multiplication.
Learning Goal
Work collaboratively to design a product or service that helps others while practicing respectful teamwork, problem-solving, and decision-making.
Students will begin planning and designing their own product or service as part of our entrepreneurship unit. They will work together in teams to make decisions about materials, pricing, and how their idea can help others in the school or community. Students will also practice listening to different opinions, sharing ideas respectfully, and explaining why others may want to use or buy their product or service.
At home, students can practice explaining their ideas, listening to others’ opinions respectfully, and identifying problems in their community that could be solved with a product or service.
