Good afternoon Haigh families. Today is a great day to curl up with a good book. Please encourage your child to read, read, read! They can read a book of their choice, their reading Benchmark book online, or a wide variety of books on Epic. Today is also a great day to make sure your child has all their assignments turned in. With the start of a new marking period, it is best for your child to prioritize and take responsibility for making sure they are on top of their school work. Did you know, parents get a weekly assignment summary sent to them each Sunday? This is a great tool to check to make sure your Haigh Owl is performing to their potential. As of today, I only have a few students who need to make some adjustments to their priorities. Parents, please help me out with this!
This week we will be finishing up unit 2 in reading and taking our unit 2 test on Tuesday. We will be reviewing tomorrow with some passages and strategies on how to take our time when reading, to go back in the text to confirm answeres, and to eliminate answers that have no credibility. We will begin our unit 3 reading on Government Wednesday. This is a heavy unit with all informational text. We will learn several startegies for breaking down the text to help us understand important text implications.
This week in math we will be taking our Topic C Quiz on Wednesday. This will review rounding to the tens and hundreds on a vertical number line. Students were having a bit of trouble with rounding to the nearest hundreds with numbers in the 1,000’s. We will go over this again a bit tomorrow, but please have your child view the video for lesson 14 as support (I told them this on Friday! You can find the video on last weeks assignment sheet). This week we will work on addition and subtraction strategies while using rounding to check if our answers are in the ballpark.
