ELAR (Ms. Dagger)
This week in Reading, we will begin Module 2: What a Story! This module focuses on the fiction genre.
Please click here to read our weekly reading newsletter.
Remember to set a time to read each night at home. Reading at home increases comprehension skills, as well as vocabulary.
Some questions to ask this week: Find a sentence in your book that uses figurative language. Can you identify what type it is and explain what it means? What is a common noun? Can you give me an example of a common noun? What is a proper noun? How can you tell if a noun is proper?
Math (Ms. Lee)
This unit the students are learning how to multiply and divide larger numbers. For example, they will multiply up to three digits by two digits and divide by a two digit divisor. The next unit the students will learn how to muliply and divide using decimals.
Homework
Students will need to complete 45 minutes in i-Ready and 4 fluency checks. Please note that for each fact fluency session, the students can only do one per day.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at anne.hurstlee@gcisd.net.
