Star of the Week

Please have your child read

15 minutes nightly to improve
their fluency and
understanding. To help
understanding, please ask
them Who is in the story,
What are they doing, Why are
they doing it and What does
this story make you think of?
Asking these questions
nightly will greatly improve
your childs comprehension
skills. Thank you!

Each week we will celebrate a student in the

classroom for who they are. This has nothing
to do with behavior, we are just celebrating
the fact that they are important to our
classroom community.

Dear Families,
I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend! This week we will continue to cover mostly
everything that we did last week due to the shortened week. At home, please make
sure that your children are reading nightly. One exciting thing is that we have
RazKids now so that is an option for their nightly reading. Thanks again for all of
your support! Have a great week!

Recorders are here!

Mr. Levi and Ms. Kristina will be selling recorders to students in grades 2-5
before school and during recess times. Recorders cost 3 KD; please bring exact
change. Students may choose between BLUE, RED, and GREEN on a first-come,
first-served basis. Grade 2 students will be playing recorders during music class
very soon. For all others with recorders, you are welcome to participate in
Recorder Karate during recess specials and other opportunities as they arise.

Literacy

Ask who, what, when, where, how, and why questions while
reading a story (Suggested questions on the blog under Helpful
Questions for Reading tab)
Identify Main Idea
Introduce how to research by using PLAN, DO, REVIEW

Ways to help at home: Please have your child read nightly and then
tell you who is in the story and what did they do, where did they do
it and most importantly why did they do it. Please have your child
tell you what they plan to do to prepare for bed (PLAN), have them
do it (DO), and then ask them how did their plan work (REVIEW).
You may also ask them about planning on making a sandwich (PLAN),
making the sandwich (DO) and then reviewing how the plan worked
(REVIEW).

Math

Place Value (100 can be thought of as 10 bundles of 10)

Less than, Greater than, Equal to (<, >, = )
Time

Ways to help at home: Please have your child practice comparing two
numbers between 100 and 999. Please have your child look at an
analog clock and write down the time when they do their homework,
eat dinner, and go to bed every night.

Change over time impacts relationships

Unit
Ways to help at home: Please have your child continue to look at
labels on the products used around your home so that they can
solidify the understanding that in order for our society to have the
things that we want, we must get them from other countries.

Our class is in the process of building our community here at school. Every student
is an important part of our community. Please discuss at home their responsibilities
within our classroom and school community. Thank you!
