Your child will bring his/her midquarter report home tomorrow. Please look it over and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Pencils
Thanks to those of you who have sent in pencils for our class to use. We could still use some more, so if you have extras we would appreciate them!
Word Study Words
We are continuing our work with word study words here at school, and for the most part, it seems to be going well. I had stopped placing the words on the website, but I have had several students and parents ask for them, so you can once again find them on the website. Because there are several different lists, students will want to know the number of their sort in order to find the correct list. Please let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions for the website.
Next week:
In writing, we will continue our look at organization. We have also been studying the conventions of graphic novels, and students will spend some time experimenting with that format.
In reading, we will continue our look at questions readers ask while reading.
In math, we will be learning different methods for multiplying large numbers. Check out the website for a video explanation of the lattice method of multiplication, found in the Video Resources section of the website.
In Science, we will continue our look at the tundra.
Note: There will not be a reading log due next week, due to the short week.
