September 26, 2016

Dear Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! We have important information on this blog so please check every Monday and read through everything. 

The October Holidays will be from October 5th to October 7th! Therefore, there will be no school on Oct. 5th, 6th, and 7th; school will resume on October 10th. 

Please make sure to look at the folders (Homework and French), take out any papers (unless indicated otherwise) and keep them at home. Then return the folder the following day.

Language Arts

Working With Words:  Students will be reviewing all the word wall words we have studied up to this point through various activities and chants. The spelling challenge will be on Friday. 

New words are: many, them, then, these, so

Reading- This week your child will be reading The Fat Cat Sat on the Mat by Nurit Karlin. This will carry over to our writing as well. 

Writing- Your child will be writing an opinion piece regarding The Fat Cat Sat on the Mat and their favorite part. For the opinion piece, they will introduce the topic they are writing about, supply a reason for the opinion, and provide some sense of closure.

Math- This week, your child will continue and develop their skills in subtraction. There are IXL skills we have added to the bottom of the blog. Your child is NOT required to do them. However, it’s a wonderful way to get some extra practice.

Social Studies: We will be creating a model of the landforms and bodies of water that they are learning; specific to Honduras or any other actual landforms and bodies of water.
