Homework: The math packet and reading log are due
on Friday. Please
return it in your Yellow Reading Log/Math Homework Folder. Please make sure you
sign your
child’s reading log.
Language Arts: We will be working on making predictions based on what
is known from reading the opening pages of a story. In our word work we will
listen for the final blend in a word. In writing we will be working on
improving our sentences by stretching them out with descriptive adjectives and
vivid verbs.
Mathematics: Chapter 4 math test will be coming home today. Please
sign and return the test for Tuesday. Let me know if you have any questions.
Number 11 and 12 are two-step questions. While we did practice equations like
this our practice was more supported. So these questions are considered novel
and present more of a challenge. This week we will be working on understanding
basic multiplication and division using repeated addition and subtraction.
Social Studies: We will be reading Mapping Penny’s World and learning
about maps. Some key vocabulary include: map scale, map key (legend), compass
rose and symbols. We will also be reading Flat Stanley. This will kick off a
mapping adventure.
Ways you can help at home: Quiz
your child on math facts. They should know the equations within 3 seconds. Find
maps, look through and identify key map features such as the compass rose,
symbols etc. Read a book together and make a prediction. Adjust your prediction
as you continue to read. Look for words that end with a final blend like ng, or st.
