Jan. 19 to 22

Welcome to the first week of 3rd Quarter!  We will be sending home report cards on Friday, so please keep an eye open for them in your child's folder.  This quarter, I have written comments on the report card.  If you have any questions or concerns, please call, email, or check the box on the report card envelope to signify that you would like to schedule a conference.

The following are the goals for the week:

Reading:  Each reading group is focusing on a Realistic Fiction story and the various elements (setting, characters, plot, etc.).  In conjunction with that, the students are studying the different types of natural resources that people use in various areas.

Language: The students are adding -ed and -ing to the endings of verbs

Math:  We are currently working on multiplying by 3 and 6, as well as using different strategies to multiply and divide.  This week, we will be completing lessons 4.3 - 4.6.  Keep an eye out for your child's graded papers coming home.  The initial amount marked incorrect is their score.  If we have time, I do require that they make their corrections, which will be indicated with a star.

Writing: This week, the writing will focus on using different ideas and details to show the reader what is happening, as opposed to simply telling.

Have a great week!
Miss Kimpton
