Good afternoon Haigh Families! I hope you are enjoying your Sunday! I started cleaning out my boys playroom and got stuck in a never ending tornado of toys!
This week in reading we will be working on compare and contrasting in our reading as well as looking at the cause and effect. We will examine the importance of reading the text features in nonfiction texts and pay attention to the timelines that can provide us with extra information that we may not have known if we skipped it. We will also be learning about how the government of Michigan is organized and the purpose of the constitution. In writing we will continue to work on our writing organizer and focus on writing our intro and closing paragraphs this week.
Last week we finished up module 2 and began Module 3. In module 3 we are revisiting multiplication facts of 6-10. We will review the properties of multiplication that can help us solve these larger facts. We will listen to skip counting songs and practice fluency in our multiplication facts. You can help your child become proficient with their facts by grabbing them a pack of flashcards from the dollar store or making them on your own.
Reminders for the week:
- Math quiz on math topic A on Tuesday
- Please be sure your child attends their learning labs on time
- Please be sure your child is completing their daily Zearn lesson
- Please make sure your child is reading at least 25 minutes outside of class times. This should include their reading group book (On Benchmark) and any book of their choice. Epic is not required but does have some great selections for students.
- Daily assignment sheet
Looking forward to a successful week. I am hoping my internet is better then it was Friday afternoon. I was experiencing some major technical difficulties and my boys didn’t even have school!
