Weekly Gazette (March 15th-March 19th)

What's My Child Learning This Week?

Reading-This week in reading, we focus/review asking questions while reading. There are three main types of questions: Right There questions have the answer directly stated in the book. Author & You questions don't have answers directly stated in the text, but the author gives picture and/or context clues to help the reader figure it out. Third, Think & Search questions are the hardest. Students have to be able to infer the answer to the question based on experience/prior knowledge. While we will use various texts to explore this strategy, we also continue reading the text Splish Splash.

Math-This is our last week studying geometry. We focus on symmetry and congruency. We explore parallel and perpendicular lines.

Science-This is our last week studying animals. Students are sharing thier animal research projects!

Writing-We finish lowercase cursive letters this week! Students are finally publishing a piece for display. Yeah!!!
