In Writer's Workshop last week we added the element of Author's Chair. Three randomly drawn students shared their stories with the class and received positive comments, ideas and questions about their work. This is a very coveted opportunity in which all students will eventually partake. We also learned about more pre-writing organizational strategies and story leads. This week we will learn about revising our stories to make them even better.
In Math we have been working on more story problems. This week will we start multiplication. Please help your child review the multiples of the week until they are memorized. A multiple review strip will go home on Monday. This will greatly assist your child the following week when we will memorize the corresponding multiplication facts. This will be in lieu of Mad Minutes.
English review homework was sent home Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Do receive the most benefits before the test, please have your child complete this work by Tuesday. Please review it as well, since they receive review work on areas in which they have not yet demonstrated mastery. The English test covering all of Chapter 2, Nouns, will be on Thursday.
This week's vocabulary and spelling list will come from Chapter 1 of our Social Studies text. Words and flashcards will be sent home on Monday. Memorizing the definitions of the words will help your child review for the Social Studies test the following week. We are also working on a review packet in class that will be sent home to study from.
Please make sure you send back any library books by Wednesday of this week. Our next library time is scheduled for this Thursday, December 15.
Have a great week!
