Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week in reading we are going to work on making inferences. This reading strategy has the students draw on their prior knowledge and use the information from the story and picture clues to make an inference about what the author does not say in the text. We are also going to focus on the long o sound, as in the word home. This week we will be starting writer's workshop. The students will be able to choose the topic that they want to write about each day. On Tuesday the children will be bringing home a brown bag. Please have your child select one treasure to put in the bag that means a lot to them. We will be writing about the treasures that are near and dear to our hearts on Wednesday.
In math, we will be working on story problems, turn-around facts and adding two digit numbers without regrouping. Look for Home Links 5.10, 5.11 and 5.12 to come home this week. Remember to keep practicing addition and subtraction facts at home with your child.
The students will be finishing up their unit on Arctic animals and we will be starting our Pushes and Pulls unit in science this week. The students will be thinking about their favorite jobs and how pushes and pulls are used in that job.
