Perseverance
You complete what you start despite obstacles. You never give up.
The week of the 17th we will be starting a new word in the Positivity Project. We will be learning all about perseverance.
Reading
We will be practicing Distinguishing and Evaluating Fact and Opinion
I am encouraging students to do a two page recording of their reading on the My Guided Readers website. The link is in Google Classroom.
Writing
Students will be finishing a “Snowman at Night” story they are creating on Purple Mash. In addition, we will start to explore different literary devices and practice using them and identifying them.
Math
Multiplication Practice- Please make sure your student is practicing their multiplication facts at least a few times a week. They can do this with flashcards (they could even create their own on index cards!) or they could work on IXL: G for 10 mins 4 times a week. If you need index cards or supplies for flashcards, let me know and I can send them home. The kids have been working on the following facts on this sheet in class (let me know if you'd like a copy sent home!):
We are working on the unit Measurement and Data. We have started exploring, creating, and answering two step word problems about data charts.
PLEASE WORK ON IXL U
Science
We are wrapping up our unit Animals Through Time. In this unit students will develop an appreciation for how animals and their habitats are not constant - they change over time. Fossils give us a window to the animals and habitats of the past. Selective breeding shows us not only how some animals of the past became domesticated, but allows us to imagine how they might look in the future.
