Dear Parents,
I am so glad that I got to meet with you all last week! I
love each of your students and you parents are just as wonderful as them! I
hope everyone has a fabulous Fall Break this week!
Here is what we are doing in class this week:
Reading: This week we will be reading folktales and focusing
on theme. We will have spelling words with prefixes. Since it is a short week,
students will only have to study their words for 10 minutes this week, and the
signed list will be due on Wednesday. For their reading log, students should
have 3 days worth of 20 minutes, for 60 minutes total. This they will also turn
in on Wednesday.
Math: This week we will be finishing our Multiplication
unit. We will be reviewing different ways to solve 2 digit by 2 digit problems
and we will take our test on Wednesday. Please help to make sure that your
students have their multiplication facts memorized and that they know how to do
at least one method to solve large multiplication problems! Their homework for
this week will just be to study their multiplication facts for 40 minutes. This
should really help them for the test on Wednesday. In Target Time we will be
reviewing factors and multiples this week.
Writing: This week we will be talking about poetry. We are
going to learn about and write Acrostic, Haiku, Limerick, and Cinquain poems.
Next week when we finish, we will put our poems in a class poem book.
Science: We will talk about rainstorms vs.
thunderstorms and discuss what is similar and what is different about the two.
We will also talk about the different factors that produce storms and what
makes up fair weather. We will learn about temperature, cloud cover, and wind
speed.
Social Studies: This week in social studies we will be
talking about where people live and population concentrations. We will also
talk about industry and will begin creating our own businesses.
This week’s homework:
Read 20 mins for 3 days and fill out a reading log
Spelling #6 – 20 mins of study and list signed by parent
40 minutes multiplication facts
*Math, reading, and spelling are due on Wednesday
Thanks!
Mrs. Wheatley
