Weekly Gazette ( May 4- May 8)

What is My Child Learning this Week?

Math-We continue learning about multiplication. Students will begin practicing multipication facts.

Reading-We are reading "The Ugly Vegetables", a fiction story about a girl and her mom growing vegetables in order to make soup. The focus skill is sequencing events.

Writing-Students continue to write on their own topics. The teacher is conferencing with individual students to target individual weaknesses.

Social Studies-we focus on Goods and Services. Students will learn how products are made and distributed to stores.

Grammar-We will do two word wall activities: Making Words and Guess the Covered Word. These are two great activities to help students strengthen phonemic awareness skills.


Tests and Quizzes

• Students will have a reading quiz on "The Ugly Vegetables" this Thursday, May 7th. The focus will be sequencing events.
• Word Wall quiz this Friday, May 8th. Please practice sentence dictation with your child. (reading a sentence while he or she writes it.)
• Multiplication quiz this Friday, May 8th. The quiz will focus on concept rather than memorization of facts. For example, students will have to show by drawing a picture what 5 X 6 means.

Important Reminders

• The museum is next week! Please continue practicing with your child at home. Invitations will be sent home this week to parents! :)
• The Talent Show is this Friday at 6:00 pm in the gym.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
