Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week in reading we are going to be comparing and contrasting different stories with the story The Mitten by Jan Brett. We will be focusing on the different aspects of a story, such as characters, setting, problems in the stories, and how they’re resolved. The students will not have new spelling words or a spelling homework packet this week. Our chunk of the week will be -ip as in clip.
In math, the children will continue to use the Addition/Subtraction Facts Table to solve subtraction problems. We will also be learning about the centimeter as a unit of measure. Look for Home Links 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7 to come home this week. Please keep Home Link 6.7 at home so your child can practice math facts with the math triangles.
We are celebrating the 100th day of school today. We will have fun exploring different activities using the number 100.
A great resource for all subject areas is BrainPopJr. From Thorson’s homepage, go to students and click on Destiny, then click on the link for BrainPopJr. Username: csdthorson Password: cedarburg There are many videos and games that are fun and educational for the children!
This week we will be starting a new Social Studies unit called Our Country. We will be learning about the location of our country, important symbols of our country, and much more!
