What Did You Learn Today?

Here are the learning targets for this week. Your child has been learning these skills and you can ask them to explain what they've been studying.

Writing: Ask your student about the personal narrative he or she wrote in class. What did they write about? Can they tell you the beginning, middle and ending? Ask them if they used dialogue with quotation marks in their writing.

Reading: Encourage your student to tell you about Realistic Fiction. We've analyzed figurative language, point of view, illustrations, and the central message in the books, The Raft, and His Favorite Sweatshirt. 

Math: Can your student round to the nearest 10 and 100? Can they add and subtract multi-digit numbers within 1000 using at least two different strategies?

Social Studies: Ask your student about where we live (Hemisphere, Continent, Country, State, City, Neighborhood).

Character Trait for October: Responsibility- You are responsible when you make appropriate choices in everyday actions. How does your child show responsibility at school and at home?

Spelling: We recently had our first spelling test. Spelling lists will come home on Mondays and students will be tested on Fridays.

*Good news is that the IXL website is now working again. Students' usernames and passwords are located on a sticker in their homework folder. Please encourage them to practice for 10-15 minutes a day or to complete two skills. Please focus on rounding, place value, or adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers. Thank you!!!

Donated Snacks- Thank you Adil and Corbin's families for recently donating snacks!!!
