ELA
Reading- We are working on our stamina
for silent reading. In addition, we are
learning the importance of Stop and
Jot strategy and creating reading goals.
Grammar- This week the students
learned about Complete Subjects, Simple
Subjects, Complete Predicates and
Simple Predicates.
Writing- The students are writing
letters in their Family Journal. They are
also learning to Peer Edit.
Poetry- Our weekly poetry is truly
lending itself for the students to reflect
on the meaning of the poem and the way
in which an author constructs the text.

Notes
Please check Friday Folders. This is the
folder that will contain tests, quizzes,
homework and notes. You need to sign
the Parent sheet in the folder; this
ensures me that you have reviewed what
is in your childs folder. The folder is
then returned on Monday.
Thank You,

MATH
This week in math, the students dived into
rounding numbers up to 1,000s place and
we are continuing to compare large
numbers.
It is essential for your child to practice math
facts everyday (+,-, x, ). Math facts are the
building blocks of math!

Science- The topic of discussion this

week has been about what solvents and
solutes are and Physical Change to matter
and Chemical Change. What is the
difference between the two?
Student Corner:
In school we are learning about rounding in
the ten-thousands. This week is going to be
a blast. I finally finished my Goosebumps
book it had a happy ending. And also I
finally have a book buddy that will actually.
Listen. I am learning new math like rounding
up a higher number. I have read more
books then usual. And also I know a lot
more science this year is terrific.
