- 1st quarter report cards come home Friday, November 7th. I will hold fall parent teacher conferences for the few weeks prior to that. You can choose virtual or in person. Please sign up for those conferences here.
This week in Literacy:
Students will finish their Overcoming Challenges essay and create a keepsake bookmark to help them with reading.
Thank you for ensuring your child reads at LEAST 10 minutes a day at home. You can write their minutes at the bottom of agendas next to the day of the week.
This week in Math:
- We are still working in Unit 3, which is stories with Addition and Subtraction. This unit always proves to be tricky for students. Please view the parent guide to help you assist your child and understand the various addition and subtraction lingo.There are some cheat sheets in agendas. Please keep those in agendas so they can be used at school and at home during unit 3 which focuses on a variety of addition and subtraction of methods. We do teach regrouping as a strategy this year (yay, finally the way you learned growing up), but it is alongside the methods they have been taught previously to ensure core understanding. Some of these may NOT be familiar to you as parents so it is VERY important to use the example coming home from what students did that day. Some very helpful parent links to what we are doing can be found here: Place Value Addition Show All Totals/Partial Sums Addition on a # Line Place Value Subtraction Subtraction on a Number Line
This quarter in Science: We are studying the States of Matter and how states can change from one to another.
