Here’s What’s Going On… :)
categories: Uncategorized
Reading: We are reading the book, The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo. While reading this book, we are learning to envision, predict, and make inferences about the characters. We are also growing theories and gathering evidence to understand the motivations of the characters.
Writing: Your child is writing his/her very own Realistic Fiction story! Pretty cool, huh?
Spelling: The first spelling list is coming home this week. A homework Tic-Tac-Toe board is attached to the list. Each list will be worked on for 2 weeks.
Math: We are learning strategies to multiply a 1 digit number by a 2 digit number. So far, we have learned the Area Model. Next, we are digging in to the Place Value Sections Method and the Expanded Model.
Social Studies: We have wrapped up our first unit on the physical geography of the United States. Your kids ROCKED the Unit 1 test! Now, on to Human Geography- how and why people move to the U.S. and across the U.S.
We Keep Pressing On!

Hi Parents!
I am enjoying your kids! We are beginning to feel like a classroom “family”!
We have a Math test on Tuesday and a Social Studies Quiz on Wednesday 🙂
Reading: This week, we will learn to fit together new parts of a story with older parts, make inferences, and learn how to listen carefully when others are sharing. Unit 1 will be wrapped up this week!
Writing: We are publishing our first Personal Narrative, and will wrap up our first Writing Unit of the year! I love all of the details your kids put into their stories!
Math: On Tuesday, we will have our first unit test! During this cold, windy weekend, it would be helpful for your child to practice adding/subtracting multi-digit numbers. Also, our next Unit is all about MULTIPLICATION! Practicing facts over the weekend would be a BIG plus!
Social Studies: Currently, we are studying Special Purpose Maps. There will be a quiz on Wednesday, covering lessons 3 and 4. The word cards were sent home with your student last week!
Keep warm!
