Week of October 19–23, 2026
Hello Families!
We have another exciting week of learning ahead! Students will continue strengthening their reading, writing, and math skills while exploring important landmarks throughout the Northeast. Here’s what we’ll be working on this week!
This week, students will work through the writing process as they plan, draft, revise, edit, and publish an explanatory essay. Students will explain how keystone species affect the Yellowstone ecosystem, focusing on wolves and another keystone species. We will practice using text evidence, transition words, academic vocabulary, and complete sentences to make our writing clear and informative.
In math, students will develop their understanding of division through equal sharing and word problems. We will practice explaining our strategies and interpreting our answers. Students will also explore geometric concepts, including identifying parallel and perpendicular sides. Continued practice with math facts and explaining mathematical thinking will help build confidence and fluency.
Students will continue our Northeast Landmarks Project! They will research a landmark, learn about its location and significance, and create a model or replica. Throughout the week, students will develop their projects and prepare to share what they have learned with their classmates.
On Monday, we will also complete our scheduled Second Step lesson to support students’ social-emotional learning and classroom community.
Encourage your child to read at home each evening.
Continue practicing multiplication and division facts when possible.
Check our class website for classroom updates and announcements.
Thank you for your continued support! I look forward to another productive week of learning, creativity, and growth.
