Week of August 30, 2010

Hello and welcome to our fourth week of school. We are really enjoying your child. It seems that we are all now in a comfortable routine. I am so looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday night for Open House. Please come and join me anytime between 7:00 and 8:00 in room 2201(upstairs).

This Week:

Math: The children will be demonstrating an understanding of 100; comparing large numbers; identifying mathematical vocabulary; and rounding numbers. Homework will be given occasionally. A Math 4 Today assessment will be given on Friday.

Spelling: We will give a pretest on Unit 4 words on Monday and a post test will be given on Thursday. Please study seven words each night with your child so that they will be prepared on Thursday.

Language: The children will be identifying predicates. They will also be using commas in series predicates using a multi-sensory approach.

Reading: 4th gr. We will be reading non-fiction this week. The children will be identifying story elements; using good reading strategies and practicing their reading fluency while reading Survival of the Great Sandy Desert. I will be modeling strategies that good readers use as we read.
5th gr. The children will be reading and discussing non-fiction. We will also be gathering interesting facts on selected topic using the internet and responding to what we have read in writing.

SRA: It is a joy to listen to the children respond so well to the teacher prompt during SRA. I have sent the first of several “Bob” books with your child. I realize the content is somewhat simple. The idea here is allow your child to have a successful experience while he/she reads. Every Friday your child should return to school with the book given to them on Monday and be prepared to read it aloud with no more than 1 error I would appreciate your listening to your child read and then discussing the book with him/her every night.
