Good Afternoon,
We had a short fast week! We ended the week recognizing 8 students in each class who have exhibited excellence in math, reading, growth mindset, and citizenship. Congratulations to the students who received an award in my classroom! A couple of reminders:
Flood Hour: Flood math and reading time is focused on skills specific to your student. This week we used flood time and part of math time to take iReady Math progress monitoring. Your student should be able to tell you how they scored in comparison to their MOY test in December. We will be taking iReady reading this coming week. If you do not sign up for a conference I will send home results on March 9th otherwise, I will provide you results at your conference time. Math: We are moving through unit 5 learning to use our strategies when solving word problems. 1. Re-read the problem 2. Underline important information 3. Draw a picture or write an equation 4. Do we have a total? If yes, it is a subtraction or division problem; if no, it is an addition or multiplication problem. Literacy: We wrapped up unit 4 week 1 which was extended out from the prior week. Our focus was on identifying the author’s point of view and locating text evidence to support our finding. Writing: In writing we learned to use a graphic organizer to organize our ideas from two passages with a goal of creating a well written paragraph response to the final question on their weekly assessment. Content Literacy: We are wrapping up our solar system unit this coming week and will be moving into a social studies unit titled Where in the World? toward the end of the week. As always please feel free to reach out if you have questions or concerns. Email works best but if you need to chat by phone or schedule a conference please let me know! Have a terrific evening!
