What We Are Learning
Reading: This week we learned about how to retell a story using story
elements (characters, setting, problem, events, and solution). Ask your child
about the strategy 5 Finger Retelling.
Writing:
We continued to write nonfiction chapter books.
We focused on how to use illustrations to help our readers understand
our writing.
Math: This week in math we started a new unit on 2 and 3
dimensional shapes. We learned the following terms: vertices, sides, square,
rectangle, triangle, rhombus, trapezoid, half circle, and quarter circle. Ask your child to explain these terms.
Parent Teacher Conferences
I am happy
to announce that we had 100% attendance during Parent Teacher Conferences. Thank you all so much for taking time to
discuss your child’s progress. I hope
you found the Student Led format beneficial and it gave you insight into your
child’s strengths and weaknesses. I
truly enjoyed meeting with all of you!
Book-It
A couple of week ago, I sent home a note describing a wonderful program
called Book-It. If your child reads 20 books they get a FREE personalized pizza
from Pizza Hut. To help your child read
good fit books, I also sent home several paper books on your child’s reading
level. Please read these books with your child and have them fill out the
Reading Record. Also, your child
can visit Raz-Kids.com to access books on their level as well. Happy Reading!
