Reading- For the last two weeks the students have been learning about Text Connections. When a good reader reads he or she tries to make a connection with the book he or she is currently reading to one he or she might have already read or possibly to something that has happened to themselves. For the next two weeks the students will work on doing the process they have learned with a partner and by themselves.
Social Studies- Students are working hard in groups to complete their Non-Fiction Matrix on either Teachers or School and how they have changed over time. The end result will be a typed paper similar to what the students were asked to do with continents! The next few weeks your student will be asked to do one on their own. Our hopes is your child will be able to read nonfiction books and pull out the key facts while reading. As learners we need to think ahead to the 21st century skills and prepare them for the future. This is great task that will help them throughout the years while researching and writing papers! Math- The Lattice Method of multiplying is coming your way! Are you ready for a new challenge that your student will LOVE and you will get to learn from them!? Please make sure your child is practicing their multiplication flash cards whenever they do not have a homelink and on the weekends! It is so important for your child to know their one digit facts as we are moving towards two digit multiplication! Writing- Where you ever taught how to build a strong paragraph? Do you remember going back and searching to see which paragraph of your story was weak? This is what your child is learning currently in writing. Your student has just finished their final Personal Narrative that will go in their Cum File and is now on to writing personal narratives for fun! AB- AB is an acronym for Accelerated Block. During our AB we are currently preparing your students for their MAP Test in the spring. Our goal is to improve on writing so we are making sure we go above and beyond to help your child do their best based on their level of needs! Have any questions? PLEASE ASK!!
