Homework: We are on the third week of the writing assignment.
This assignment is due Friday, April 1st. The reading log and
math packet are due on Friday. Please return them in the yellow folder. Please
make sure you sign your
child’s reading log.
Language Arts and Science: We will be studying long i.
The students will be learning how igh makes the long I sound. We will be reading Two Bad
Ants. We will work on inferring. We will be writing some poems this week and
reflecting on our trimester 2 writing as we put our pieces in our binders.
Mathematics: We are learning about fractions. The students will be
reading, writing and identifying unit fractions for halves, thirds, and
fourths. Students will learn that fractions are equal parts of a whole. We will
be comparing and ordering fractions. Students will learn about adding and
subtracting fractions. Students will not be expected to have complete mastery
of comparing, ordering and adding fractions. This chapter is laying the
foundation for next year.
Ways you can help at home:? Look for long i words in your
reading. Be on the lookout for words spelled with igh. Continue to read
aloud to your child and have conversations about what you read. Talk about
fractions of shapes. Maybe your child only ate half of their bread at dinner.
