Our Week at a Glance
Math: This week, we will continue with Module 2. Students will be working on lessons 2-5. Lessons 2 through 5 will focus on measurement. Students will be estimating and measuring mass in grams, kilograms, liters and milliliters. They will relate this concept to that of place value by using a number line and unit comparisons. Students should still be practicing multiplication daily at home. As a reminder, students take timed multiplication tests every Friday.
Reader's Workshop: We will be continuing in our Benchmark Unit 2 books, called Ways Characters Shape Stories. Our focus will be answering the essential question: How do our actions influence our lives?
Students will continue participating in our Reader's Workshop centers which include reading to self, listening to reading, word work and grammar, responding to reading questions and using technology to build reading strategies.
Writer's Workshop: This week students will write an acrostic poem about October. Students will be using adjectives that remind them of fall when writing their poem.
Weekly Reminders and Announcements:
Daily 20 Reading Log: Please make sure your child is reading a "Just Right" chapter book. Picture books or books that are too easy will not be accepted for daily 20 reading. Your child should begin a book and continue reading it throughout the week. Please make sure they are writing the book title correctly and neatly in their folders.
Weekly Folder: A parent/guardian signature is required weekly. Students will return the folder the next school day.
Communicator: Each day, please read the communicator with your child, check off completed assignments, then sign the communicator.
Early Dismissal: Just a friendly reminder that this entire week students will be dismissed at noon due to parent-teacher conferences.
Thank you,
Miss Jensen
