This week well will review our multiplication readiness skills: making equal groups, using repeated addition, and creating arrays to prepare us for our math test on Thursday.
READING
We will continue practicing with Author's Purpose. Not only will they be able to decide if the author's purpose is to persuade, inform, and entertain but we will find out an author's purpose can be more than one purpose.
WRITING
We're working on our opinion and persuasive unit! Students have finished drafting their writing pieces. They will begin revising and editing their papers this next week.
SCIENCE
Students have started a new Science investigation! They'll be focused on pebbles, sand, and silt and have the opportunity to be learning from Mrs. Cusack over the next few weeks for science!
NEXT WEEK:
Phonics Focus: vowel team --> oe
Sight Words: long
Grammar Focus: Synonyms
Comprehension Strategy: Author's Purpose
IMPORTANT NOTES:
> Our first week with Mrs. Stoller has been a big transition. We are practicing to use the same expectations that Mrs. Knapp has for the classroom as well as for Mrs. Stoller. CogAT tests will be given next week on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Notes were sent home on Thursday about the test. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email or message me through Class Dojo..
> Our Valentine's Day Party is Thursday, February 14th from 2:00-2:30. Please remember to have your child bring in their Valentines box or bag the morning of the party and their Valentine's. I will have the students pass out their Valentines in the morning so it gives us more time for the fun activities.
