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 in writer's workshop the students will focus on writing about people and things that they love. On Tuesday, the children will be bringing home a brown paper 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 5.8, 5.10, and 5.11 to come home this week. Remember to keep practicing addition and subtraction facts at home with your child.

The students will be starting a new science unit, Pushes and Pulls, this week. The students will be thinking about their favorite jobs and how pushes and pulls are used in that job.
