Dear Parents and Guardians,
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 as well as a double sided money sheet to come home this week. Remember to keep practicing addition and subtraction facts at home with your child.
As we finish up our reading assessments with the students it sure it exciting to see how much growth they've made since the first quarter! We have really been working hard in guided reading to think of a word that would make sense, when we are stuck. We move on from there to check that word, and make sure it also looks right (that the letters in the word match the sounds we hear when we say the word). These are two things you can support at home with the books that come home for your child to read. The language sounds like this: "What word would make sense?" and then "Check it, does that look right too?"
Our study of informational writing has been so interesting! We will continue to learn lots about polar bear, penguins, arctic foxes, seals and whales this week, as we learn how writers include a beginning that tells the reader what kind of information will be in the book. We are also learning to take the facts we know about a topic and tell our reader more about them. Watch for some older writing pieces to be coming home as we wrap up grades.

This week we will be starting a "Set to Learn" unit during our science and social studies time. We will be learning about what it means to be a good listener and we will be completing different activities to help build our listening skills.
