Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week in reading we will be working on drawing conclusions. The
students will practice listening for details and after each detail they will be asked to draw a conclusion. We are also going to focus on the sound of u as in the word cute.
In math, we are going to use our addition and subtraction math facts in
order to figure out “What’s My Rule?” problems. We will also continue learning about fact families and name collection boxes. Look at the parent letter for further explanation on name collection boxes. Look for Home Links 5.13, 6.1 and 6.2 to come home this week.
Remember to keep practicing addition and subtraction facts at home. There are a lot of fun resources on the Thorson website that help with addition and subtraction, a good one to check out is “Math Bingo” on www.abcya.com. XtraMath.org is another great resource and a fun way for the children to practice their math facts!
Children are expected to be able to retell the take-home books that come home in their book bags. Please practice this with your child before returning each book to school.
