Hello families! This week has simply flown by! We've been pretty busy working on even and odd numbers for the past week. This unit will continue into next week with math rotations in the afternoons, including intervention groups. The students have finished writing their final copy for their small moment writing. They have started making their scarecrow craft which will go with their writing, and then put up on the walls. I'm also planning on pulling intervention groups next week to review maps, continents, and oceans. Depending on how your student does on the interventions, this may or may not change the current social studies grade. At that point, whatever the grade is will remain for the rest of the quarter and will be on the grade report for quarter 1. This coming week will also include a science experiment- we will be covering the scientific method and some vocabulary words. The experiment should prove to be pretty fun for everyone! This week we will also be continuing to work on our Beanie Baby reading strategies- I'll be sending home the list of the Beanie Babies and their strategies tomorrow in everyone's homework folders. This green sheet can stay in the folders to help with homework completion. I'm also sending home the official progress report- this will be your copy to keep at home. I should be getting the ParentVue login information for you either tomorrow or sometime next week- I will also send this home.
Next week will also be- finally!- the start of our reading groups. This grade will also be included in everyone's reading grade for the coming weeks. I'll be meeting with the students twice a week to read together, discuss reading strategies, and grammar. The other days of the week the students will be buddy reading. These reading groups will not only help your child achieve their AR goal for the week, but it will also help them become a better and more confident reader. I'm really looking forward to meeting with everyone during the coming weeks!
