Weekly Update 2.13

Here’s what we've been up to:
Math: We are almost finished with Unit 5!  We will be doing a unit review on Monday and taking our final test on Tuesday.  Student will come home with a review page on Monday.    Please help your student with anything that feels challenging to them.   We are also loving Reflex math.  Have your student show you their account if they have not done so yet.  
Read Aloud: We are going to take a short break from Hoot to learn more about national parks with an informational text.    Ask your student what he/she learned about national parks.  
Reading: Guided Reading will shift focus to informational.  They will be learning more about the national parks as they focus on this question, Why were national parks formed?   Ask your student what they are learning about this week.  
Writing:  We are finishing up our realistic fiction this week with some last minute revising and editing.  Then on Thursday and Friday, they will begin publishing their writing.    Ask your student what they will be writing about.  
PBL: We started our new unit on the regions of the United States.  It is called Every Kid in a Park and students will learn about the different regions and plan a trip to a specific national park with a group of five.    Ask your student what they have learned so far.  
Winter came back!  It has been very wet and cold outdoors.  Please keep sending in boots so they have an extra pair of shoes they can wear in our classroom to keep it as dry as possible.  They CAN NOT go to afternoon recess without boots, coat, and gloves.  Thanks in advance!
