Dear Families,
Welcome to a brand new week! Although it is a short week, it will be a meaningful one. Please continue checking in with your student about what they are learning—having them explain their thinking and share examples strengthens both understanding and confidence.
Students are working on becoming stronger writers focusing on revising and editing for complete sentences, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. Students are also expected to understand multiplication as equal groups, explain their strategies, and solve problems accurately. Practicing math facts at home will greatly support fluency and confidence. We continue learning about globalization and how communities around the world are connected. Students are expected to participate in discussions and use academic vocabulary. Lastly, we are also strengthening social-emotional skills, especially self-advocacy—asking for help appropriately, clarifying directions, and taking responsibility for learning.
Thank you for your continued support!
Learning Goal
Conventions, revising and drawing on personal experience.
Writers goals are to students to realize that writing starts purposefully by crafting a beginning to hook readers, then they have gotten the most important part of the teaching point. Another key goal is to support writers in independently finishing their books, and take the time to edit and revise as they go along.
Learning Goal
Pueden escribir opiniones con razones y evidencias.
Los estudiantes desarrollarán la capacidad de expresar opiniones por escrito sobre temas cercanos a su realidad, organizando sus ideas de manera clara y coherente, y utilizando razones que sustenten su punto de vista.
Practicar la fluidez lectora durante 20 minutos.
Learning Goal
Mathematics return to the study of multiplication, especially as it relates to division.
Mathematicians will be formally introduced to division, working from what they already know about multiplication to understand division as the inverse operation, just as subtraction is the inverse of addition.
Learning Goal
The children will be moving into Social Studies, where they will begin an exciting new unit on Globalization. They will explore how we are connected to people and places around the world by looking at where everyday items come from, learning about different parts of culture such as food, language, and traditions, and discovering how many of the things we use each day are created or invented in other countries. The children will also discuss the positive effects of sharing and trading across countries, as well as some of the challenges it can create. This unit will help students build curiosity, global awareness, and respect for different cultures.
Students can look at labels at home to find where everyday items are made and locate those countries on a map.
They can explore world cultures by trying foods, learning greetings in new languages, or talking about traditions.
They can discuss how countries share and trade goods and why this is helpful for people around the world.
Learning Goal
Self-Management: Demonstrating Personal and Collective Agency | Relationship Skills: Seeking or Offering Support and Help When Needed
Take a moment to reflect with your family: When might you speak assertively? What would that look and sound like?When might you speak assertively? What would that look and sound like?
What are your best strengths when working with others? What skills could you work on before your next collaboration?
