Dear
Parents,
We finished up our second story in
Theme 2: Celebrating Tradition: Anthony Reynoso Born to Rope today. Tomorrow we will begin our third story in our
theme: The Talking Cloth, which is about the African culture in Ghana. Our Grammar Focus will be on Singular to
Plural Nouns. Our Comprehension focus
will be on Main Idea and Context Clues.
In Math, we will be working on 2 digit and 3 digit by 1 digit multiplication.
We will also be working on Solid Figures in Geometry as well. In Science, we are learning about our Solar
System. This week we will be learning
about Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. In our Literature Unit, we are continuing to
read Number the Stars. Book
project will be coming soon, so if you would like to check out the book or buy
the book, this would be still a good time to do that.
We will also begin Benchmark 1
testing on Wednesday. Your child will be
given a multiple-choice test in Language Arts and Math that is provided by the
District. They test will be on all the
standards we have covered thus far. They
will also be tested on their Writing and Fluency this week within the benchmark
as well.
**Parents
it is very important that your child learns their multiplication facts by
memory. The goal was to know their
multiplication facts by the end of September.
I gave the timed test on Friday and only 4 students passed. Please work with your child on this
standard/skill for them to be successful in Math this school year.
