As we close out the month of October I am pleased and impressed with the depth of our learning so far this school year. This week will round out our parent conferences. Thank you all for taking the time out of your schedule to come in and meet with me. As always, feel free to call or email me as the year progresses.
Reading
The students will be analyzing a chapter of Charlotte's Web independently and we will be discussing the changes we have seen in Wilbur. We will also be meeting in our small reading groups this week. Our focus will be on character traits and textual evidence.
Writing
The students will choose a small moment that they are interested in taking through the writing process. We will work on creating an interesting lead and staying in our storyteller voice.
Math
We have begun working on multiplication. Our focus this week will be on the rules for multiplication and the underlying concepts. We will be working on repeated addition, making arrays, the properties of multiplication and writing multiplication stories. Look for a review packet of these concepts to come home mid-week. This packet is meant for you to support your child's learning at home.
Social Studies
The students have been working on a landform dictionary in class. We are using the computers to define a variety of landform terms. This week we will complete this work and begin a closer look at the geography of the United States. Our focus will be on the major landforms of the US and how the landforms impact population.
Have a wonderful week and Happy Halloween!
