Good morning!

Late Start this Wednesday October 16. School begins at 9:35

In our reading unit Why Do We Need a Government?, we continue to use informational text as our focus to ask questions before, during and after our reading. The spelling this week teaches open and closed syllables which helps students to chunk larger words into smaller parts to read them correctly. The spelling words are: go, we, hi, no, she, napkin, dentist, problem, open, silent.

Writing an opinion piece is our main focus for writing. We are looking and analyzing model responses to a prompt and using the text to provide the evidence for our opinion. Our opinions are not right or wrong, but they need to be supported with evidence.

Math continues with counting within 1000, including skip counting by 1,10,100 and using models to write and draw numbers.

I’m hoping to finish up our social studies unit this week with our required online test.

In science we continue with properties of matter.

Enjoy your week!
