Curriculum Updates:
Reading: We are nearing the end of our first bend of the unit! Students are working hard to continue understanding and taking notes from their nonfiction texts. It has been such a cool experience to watch students investigate and share all the facts they've been learning from their texts. We have been working hard to summarize in our own words as well as understand the main idea and key details of a text.
Writing: We are working hard at crafting personal essays. We are putting a lot of emphasize on the planning and drafting process to make sure we are being the greatest essayist we can be. Check out this poster showcasing the personal essays that are coming soon:
Math: We have our Unit 2 Test on Monday, November 8th. Your child recieved a pink packet last Monday to complete to help them prepare for the Math test. Please let me know if you have any questions about this. You can expect to see their graded tests on Tuesday
Word Study: We began Unit 3 in Word Study. We've been focusing on multislyabic words as well as vowel consonanet e words. A packet with a parent letter came home earlier this week for your student to complete if they'd like. Remember, these are optional assignments but highly encouraged.
Content: Students have been placed in Energy groups of their choice and have been working hard with the other researchers in their group to create a slideshow showcasing all the information they've learned. Students will present their slideshow with their group on Tuesday. It will likely be posted on Seesaw or I will record each student's presentation and share it with families. I will keep you posted.
Leader in Me: This month we are focusing on Habit 2: Begin with the End in mind. Ask your child how they begin with the end in mind here at school or at home!
Enjoy your weekend! 🍁
