Where did the snow go? Rain in January?
Here’s what we were up to last week:
Math: We finished Unit 4. We worked on multistep story problems and finding the area of rectilinear shapes. A review sheet will be coming home this weekend to study for our Unit 4 Post Test on Tuesday. Ask your student what a rectilinear shape is.
Read Aloud: We are currently reading From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Have you read this book? Its an oldie, but a goodie. We will finish this up next week and begin reading Hoot. Ask your student what his/her favorite part is.
Reading: We are continuing with our guided reading. A few groups have started new books and others will begin new texts next week. Ask your student what book they are reading this week.
PBL: We finished our Energy Collisions unit this week. Students worked with a partner to create a system that converted energy and helped some one move things from one place to another. Ask your student about the system he/she created.
Fact Fluency: We have several students who are still not secure in their facts. PLEASE, PLEASE help your son/daughter continue to work on these. If you need ideas for how to support, please let me know.
Ms. Jones will begin taking over more and more of the instruction as the month progresses. I will shift more into a small group role as she gets her feet wet with delivering content. We are lucky to have two teachers for the next few months!
