This Week We Will Focus On:
- Reading Comprehension Focus
- Students will continue focusing on identifying character traits of characters in fictional text. We will also be learning about importance of illustrations and how it affects the mood of a story.
- Homework: Students should be reading 20-30 minutes daily. Please check-in with your child to verify that they are checking just right books for their reading ability.
Math: Understanding Area
- We started studying Area last week and will continue this concept this week. They are learning to connect area to multiplication.
- Although we are currently learning about area, please continue to work on multiplication/division math facts at home. Multiplication must be practiced consistently in order to develop fluency. Master one fact at a time before moving on to the next fact. Research shows that students learn facts in this order: 1, 0, 10, 5, 2, 4, 8, 3, 6, 9, 7, 11, 12
- In order for student to become fluent in these skills, students should be working on their multiplication skills at home nightly.
Social Studies:
- We are studying what is geography. We will spend several weeks on this topic.This week we will focus on map skills, continents and oceans. The students will be tested on the location of the 7 continents and oceans. The assessment will be October 4th. Your child will get a study guide on Monday.
