This Week We Will Focus On: 

Reading Comprehension Focus: Nonfiction Text Features
We are continuing our study of nonfiction text features this week. Listed below are a sample of the text features we have been learning about in class.


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:  Rounding to Nearest 10 and to Nearest 100


  • We are learning to Round to the nearest 10 and nearest 100 this week.  
  • Although we are currently learning about Rounding, 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.
    • Computer Program- I have enrolled each student in Reflex Math fluency program.  This program helps the students become more fluent in multiplication and division.  
Math Home Project:  The students will be receiving information about a home math project on Monday.  This project is due October 14th

Social Studies:
  • We are finishing our study of geography this week.  
Science:  We will are learning about plants this week.
