Homework: We are on the final 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: We will be studying r
controlled vowels for the next several weeks. We are beginning with or and ar.
We are going to be revisiting Two Bad Ants. We will reading closely to identify
all the descriptive language the author used. We will also be discussing the
author’s message. We will be working on narrative writing for the next few
weeks. We will begin by writing a story about a ride they have experienced. We
will read the mentor text Roller Coaster to kick off this writing.
Mathematics: We will be finishing up chapter 12 on Fractions this
week. The children have really enjoyed learning about fractions. We will work
more on adding and subtracting like fractions.
Ways you can help at home: Talk about what you
think the most important event is in a fiction book you are reading with your
child. Explain your reasons one. The important event ties to the solution or
author’s message. Look for the r
controlled vowels or and ar. Have your child share what he or she knows about
fractions. Look for fractions in real life. Gather writing ideas for about a
ride.
