Greetings Parents,
I hope all of you are enjoying this beautiful day off as we head into a very wet week ahead of us!
Just a reminder that the second trimester will end quickly, and most of the students are still trying the earn those AR points. Additionally, if your child misses school, even for one day, please email me for the assignments and complete the Independent Study paperwork in the office.
Our focus this week will be:
1. Continue reading The Year of Miss Agnes. We will discuss how readers use evidence from texts to understand what they read, and identify main idea and supporting details. We will continue to discover how writers include character dialogue and actions to affect the events in a story.
2. Conventions: quotation, exclamation, and question marks in dialogue and subject-verb agreement.
3. Spelling: consonant digraphs
4. Writing: narrative
Math
Begin Topic #8: Use Strategies and Properties to Add and Subtract.
Continue our Fact Master multiplication tests. It is imperative students study and complete these at home nightly for a few minutes for successful mastery of their multiplication facts.
