Week of October 6-10, 2014
Dear Parent,
I has been an exciting week around school. We have had picture day, the book fair, and our KISS cookout. In the Friday folder is another resource for reading. It is a self-monitoring sheet for the students to use as they read. I have also included a letter with information about your child using TenMarks as a resource for math practice at home. The letter includes the students username and password and the website address. Please put the letter some place safe so students don't loose their username and passwords. I have also included a letter about your child's reading level.
OLSAT testing will take place on Tuesday, October 7 and Wednesday, October 8 next week. Please make sure your child comes to school well rested. Thank you.
In science/social studies:
This week we have been finishing up our unit of inquiry "Who We Are". As a final project the students are creating an "I am" puzzle and poem. We will begin our unit of inquiry "Sharing the Planet". We will be learning about resources and how humans, plants and animals use them for their basic needs.
In math:
We continue to work on problem solving skills. We have been working on place value, odd and even, number lines, We have been also practicing mental math strategies. We will continue with this study next week, too.
In writing:
We have been working on different ideas for writing and what is the writing process. Next week we will be looking at different writers to learn about the craft of writing.
In reading:
We have been learning about different reading strategies to help us understand what we are reading. We have been working on visualization. We will be learning about using tracks of our thinking in reading groups. In whole group, we will be doing an author study.
Around the school:
Please visit the PTA website to see the Woody Alerts.
We will have library next week so send homework folders and library books on Tuesday.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Ms. Hansen
