GO Falcons-Our Home Team!!!
Reminders:
  • Please remind your children about the Reading Logs each night. This could be on books they read independently or that they are read aloud to.  They are in their red homework folders.
  • The January Choice Board’s 6 activities will be due THIS Friday!!
  • Keep an eye out for spare shoe boxes around the house. They will be needing these to create their Valentine’s boxes at home in a couple of weeks!
Weekly News:
Math: We will continue start solving equations with unknown variables, otherwise known as missing addends. For example, 9+__=15. We will starat using this skill to solve word problems. There will be an assessment on this at the end of the week.

Reading: We will continue learning about the Central Messages that authors try to convey in their stories. We will also be spiraling in the ability to make connections while we read and create mind movies. As part of the homework every night they have to complete a reading log sheet in their homework notebooks that helps them to use these skills at home.

Writing: We will continue working on our opinion pieces, making sure that we include an opening sentence, supporting reasons and a closing sentence.

Phonics: This week we will be learning about making the Long E sound by using the letters “ee” as in seen, and “ea” as in “dream.” We’ve been reviewing the rule, “When 2 vowels go walking, the first does the talking.” We will have a spelling test on Friday :).

Social Studies: We will start to learn about President Theodore Roosevelt and all of the things that he did to make our country stronger and more beautiful! We will focus upon all of the National Parks and Wildlife Refugees he created. Our students will surely share his passion for animals!

S.T.E.M. Students will be using items in their pencil boxes to partake in a “Snowman Challenge.”

I hope that everyone has a fantastic week!

Melissa
