Did you hear the news? We blogged AGAIN this week! Last week your child wrote their introduction blog post. Today your child blogged about the favorite book he/she read in September. Please take a minute to read your child’s blog, and comment. Feel free to share their blog with every relative you have, and have them comment!, too. :) The kids LOVE it when people comment on their writing, and it is highly motivating.
It was a techie week. Along with blogging, the children created their first Educreations slideshows on the iPads as a review for math. Each group had to choose whether to teach how to round numbers to the nearest ten and nearest hundred, or teach about the three properties of addition. A couple of the presentations are in the next blog post down.
As you might have noticed this week, your child does not always have some type of worksheet to do for homework. I only send worksheets home when there’s been a skill taught in class that day (or sometimes that week), that I want them to practice and apply their new knowledge to, reinforcing their in-school learning. Even when there’s not a worksheet, they still need to be doing their home reading and math facts, and recording on their logs.
Here's what we'll be learning about next week:
- Reader’s Workshop: Strategies to read and understand tricky words and phrases (including figurative language, synonyms, and antonyms)
- Writer’s Workshop: Putting together all the pieces of personal narrative writing.
- Math: Addition and subtraction of 3-digit numbers with regrouping.
- Science: Matter
Please remember that my door is always open if you have any questions or concerns. I also check email frequently. Together we are partners in your child’s education!
