Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
I just wanted to say thank you for making me feel so special and appreciated during Teacher Appreciation Week! I absolutely LOVE all the bags of goodies, beautiful flowers, heartfelt cards, and gift cards. You are the BEST and I appreciate your support this year! I have been so blessed with amazing children and supportive parents! Thank you for being an advocate for your child's education. I have enjoyed every day with your fabulous, hard working son / daughter. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with your child and allowing me to grow as a person and teacher!
Reading
Reading will be intergrated with Science and Social Studie. We will be reading informational text on natural disasters and weather patterns.
Language Arts/Writing Students will be revising and editing their explanatory writing. Students will learn how to write quality leads and conclusions for their composition. Students will spell and use homophones accurately in their writing.
Math
Unit of Study: Liquid Capacity; Weight/ Mass Students will explore with liquid capacity and weight in both customary and metric units. Students will continue to identify math actions in story problems and solve using pictures, numbers and words.
PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILD PRACTICING MULTIPLICATION FACTS TO THE 10'S EVERY NIGHT. THIS IS A PROMOTION REQUIREMENT. We will do a timed multiplication fact quiz every morning. Students will move to the next level everytime they score a 100 on the 3 minute quiz.
Students will continue taking the timed multiplication fact promotion assessment every three weeks. Each time the promotion test is given it will count for a math grade. It will not count as a test grade, but as a daily work grade.
