Week of 12/3/18
Hello families!
This week in Daily 5 we are continuing to learn about plural nouns, cause and effect, fact and opinion, and prefixes and suffixes. PLEASE continue reading at home. Reading logs stay in the Reading Bag and are signed every night and returned back to school. I stress to the students that they are responsible for reading everyday for 20 minutes. This is a school-wide, and even district-wide, policy. Practicing reading our “warm reads” (books students have already read and know well) will help with fluency and comprehension.
In math this week, we will be continuing Module 3, and hopefully completing lessons 7, 8, 9, and 10. Please continue the nightly math homework that comes home from the lesson we completed that day in class. Math from the lessons is always due the following day.
In Science we will begin learning about solids, liquids, and gases, and relating that information to our bodies of water on Earth. Also, landforms will be a topic.
In Social Studies, we are finishing up communities, and will now be learning about maps. Reading maps and creating maps is on the agenda for the next three weeks.
****PLease make sure your student is wearing a heavy winter coat for outdoor recess. Hats and gloves and encouraged, too. The weather is cold, but we will continue going outside for recess if the weather is decent.
Please continue reading and signing the planner every night! Important information is written in the planners and I would like parents to go over the planner nightly with their child.
Thank you!
Mrs. VanAllen
