Happy Tuesday! We hope you enjoyed your Martin Luther King, Jr. day and your long weekend!
There will be NO SPELLING this week due to a short week - we will resume with spelling again next week. However, there WILL be regular homework for Tuesday and Wednesday with our math and reading practice as usual. The homework packet is coming home today with your student!
We will be continuing our Norm Referenced Testing this week by taking the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. Our testing dates for this week are January 19th, 20th and 21st. Please make sure your child gets a good night's rest, eats a healthy breakfast, and comes to school on time as we will be starting promptly each morning!
Here's what we are learning about this week!
Reading: Readers consume narratives with descriptive detail! We will be noticing descriptive detail and how they improve the quality of a story. We will be learning how we can add this descriptive detail in our own writing and notice it in the books we are reading on our own too!
Writing: We will continue writing stories from our lives! We will continue to use a story arc to map events, add details, and expand it into a story that's worth telling.
Math: We will continue with division and repeated subtraction!
Social Studies: We are beginning our biography unit on historical figures! Your students will learn about various people throughout history. Ask them about it!
Science: We will continue our study of animal survival including adaptations, hibernation and migration!
We hope you enjoy your short week!
