Happy Rainy Monday \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I sent home a note last week about thin gloves\/socks for a science project this week. Please have your child bring them to school within the next day or 2. They’ll be returned, only to be used to test for hotness\/coldness of an object.<\/p>\n
Spelling words this week focus on the “o” sound: fox, lock, pop, poke, cone, those, cold, stop, open, old.<\/p>\n
Our reading strategy this week will focus on how the main character of a story reacts to a major event. We’re reading about a young girl who’s family moved to America from Korea. She resists learning to spell her name in English.<\/p>\n
We’ll begin a new writing unit. Our new unit is opinion writing and support our opinion with 2-3 reasons. “Because it’s fun” or “Because I like it” will be stretched to why it’s fun or why they like the topic. The topic will be fun things to do in Dearborn\/why Dearborn is a nice community, etc. A homework sheet will come about this as well.<\/p>\n
Math will focus on continued fluency as well as numbers and operations in base ten. We’ll get into subtracting from 2 digit numbers. The parent homework helpers will come home with the homework sheets to help you understand this new program.<\/p>\n
Science will continue to focus on the properties of matter. This week, as I said above, will focus on hot\/cold properties.<\/p>\n
We’ll also have our first library book check out on Thursday. I believe the students will be able to check out 2 books this year, based on past practice.<\/p>\n
Enjoy the week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
