Happy Monday!
This week is jammed packed with many fun reading month activities as well as guest readers coming by to read to our class. Please make sure to go back and take a look at the reading month calendar for more descriptive details about what is going on this week.
Today we passed back our Module 3 end-of-module assessment. Please make sure to review this with your child and sign the test. I will be posting a more detailed post later today about what the grades truly mean. As always, if you have questions feel free to reach out to me.
Listed below are our events and content that we will be covering this week:
Reading- Using illustrations to help infer and predict what is going on within our story. Why is “Infer and Support with Evidence” such a helpful strategy? Remember that writers want to keep you interested in reading their books, so they do not tell you everything. Instead they want readers like you to infer and support those inferences
with the evidence from their writing and pictures. So, whenever you read,you have the opportunity to infer and use evidence to support your thinking. Use this strategy whenever you can with your child.
Writing- Developing short responses based upon text and continuing developing our personal narratives.
Math- Multiplication and Area measurement: concepts of area measurement
Social Studies- Iron and Copper mining industry in Michigan and putting our natural resources to work in Michigan
Science- Continuing our fossil discovery with science
Leader in Me- Discussing ways that we can “sprinkle” kindness on others within school. Reading the book the Jelly Doughnut Difference and discussing ways to put deposits into others emotional bank account
