AMath homework are due on Friday. Read a book with your child and ask them questions about the characters, setting, and events.
Reading- The reading unit is focused on non-fiction text called Communities. The children will explain how specific images contribute to and clarify a text. They will also identify text features and compare and contrast two texts.
Phonics/Spelling- This week children will practice reading and spelling words with open syllables. Example- remote. High frequency words are easy, only, really. An assessment will be given on Friday.
Language- Children will learn to read, write, and how to use contractions .
Writing- The children will continue an all about unit. A unit in which they will write about topics they know a lot about.
Math- Children will use place value to add and subtract. Children will also continue to investigate place value (ones, tens, and hundreds). They will use strategies (empty number line, hundreds, tens and ones, and make a model) to solve addition and subtraction problems. The children will continue counting money. An easy way to practice this real life skill is to have them count the change in your wallet or pocket each evening.
Social Studies- Children will learn about natural, human, and capital resources.
Science- Children will learn about Earth materials (what it is make of). They are using a rock they found on school property to investigate physical properties. Children will also continue learning about recycling, reusing, and reducing.
A recycling parade will occur on Friday afternoon. Please help your child create a costume using recycled materials!!
Health- Children will begin a unit on the heart. The heart's function, jobs, and how to keep it healthy will be taught over the next few weeks.
Please encourage your child to read each evening for 15 minutes. You can read to them, they can read to themselves, or another person. Vocabulary is crucial for the brain to grow. If you are interested in an awesome study check out the 30 million word challenge on youtube.
If you have a computer, please have your child practice their math skills on Dreambox. They can access this program through www.symbaloo.com/mix/mrscurran. Once on this site click on Clever on the right. Their username is
slunchnumber and the password is their 8 digit birthday. Dreambox is located on the homepage. They should be familiar with this, as we do it in school several times a week. Dreambox is a program that progresses with your child as they are proficient on a topic.
