- Winter cold temperatures have arrived! Please make sure that your child has a coat, hat, gloves, and boots to go outside. The students must be dressed for the weather to go outside for snack and recess. Also, please label ALL items with your child’s name.
- Student laptops should come to school fully charged. Please make this part of your child’s homework routine.
ELA:
- Students started their novel study of, “Family Under the Bridge.” They are learning to annotate their book highlighting characters as well as the setting. This novel is set in Paris, France so they are enjoying learning about the city!
- In writing, students are continuing to work on their “When I Grow Up” contest pieces. They learned how to write a story from the inside out and will continue to make edits next week before we send them off!
Math:
- The students have been reviewing their multiplication facts. It’s important for them to know these facts fluently as we move into multi-digit multiplication. Please have your child practice their facts at least 10 minutes every day.
- We introduced multiplying two digit numbers by one number. They use a “road map” to remember where to go next. They are really having fun with this skill!
- Next week, we’ll continue to practice 2-digit by 1-digit, and move to 3-digits by 1-digit.
Digital Discovery:
- The students started researching landmarks in Paris as part of their novel study with the book, The Family Under the Bridge.
- We will teach them how to use reliable and safe websites to find information about places in Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral.
Character Ed:
- Research shows that it takes five positive messages to make up for a single negative message when it comes to self-talk. This week, our students are learning the importance of cultivating positive self-talk messages.
- Ask your students what are some of the strategies they can use to stay positive even when times get tough?
