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 this week. Remember to keep practicing addition and subtraction facts at home with your child.
We are beginning our Arctic animal study in science this week. We will be learning about the Arctic habitat and learning and writing about animals found in the Arctic.
IMC change! This week we will again be going to the IMC on Thursday instead of Friday since we do not have school. Please send your child's IMC books with them to school on or before Thursday so that they are able to check out new books. Thank you!
