Curriculum Updates:
Reading: It's been great getting back into our love of fiction reading. Students are all in partnerships where they are reading the same book with another person they chose in the class. Each day they set goals for themselves and their partnership and discuss different topics about their stories. Students are doing lots of jotting about characters to support them later in writing!
Writing: We are working hard at crafting literary essays. Throughout this unit (hopefully before break) We will write a total of 6 essays! Two essays about a character from a book we've read, two about a theme we've identified from a book, and two comparing and contrasting essays. Students are really motivated during writing, and I am so excited by their excitement about writing about reading!
Math: Students took their Unit 3 Math Test on Friday, December 3rd. They will get those tests back next week to get a parent signature and to be returned back to school!
Word Study: Students took their Unit 4 Fundations test on Friday. They will also recieve those tests back next week. We will move into our next unit! Be on the lookout for a family letter and work packet for the next unit next week!
Leader in Me: In the month of December we are focusing on Habit 3: Put First Things First. We will be discussing the importance of planning. If you have time, ask your child how they plan and how you can support them in their planning.
Enjoy your weekend! ☃
