I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend! We may only have four days of school this week, but we are still working hard.
Textbook reading can be very intimidating to some students. This week in reading we will be learning strategies that will help us understand a science textbook. We will be learning how to read charts and diagrams, gain information from headings and subheadings, and how to answer questions throughout the text. After lots of practice and hardwork, the students will be able to navigate their way through their science textbook with ease.
The students are doing great getting their work completed on their spelling contracts...KUDOS to them! Writing, practicing, and reveiwing spelling words is more important than just saying and spelling words aloud. They seem to enjoy the activities!
Your child should also be bringing home more homework as we progress into more difficult topics. The homework I give is simply for practice. I do not give students homework on a topic that we have not discussed in class. Math especially requires lots of practice and application in order to master the skill. Ask your child about their homework and encourage him/her to complete it and return to school the following day.
I hope this is a great week for you and your child!! Feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns.
