Hello! Here is the news for our class this week.
Parents, your child's published realistic fiction pieces went home on Friday. Please have your child read you his or her piece, and offer your thoughts on the attached cover letter. Please have your child return the book, the rubric, and the letter to school, no later than this Thursday, Dec. 18. Thank you!
Math - Our Unit 5 assessment will be on Monday. We will begin Unit 6 when we return from winter break. There is no homework over the break!
Reading - This week, we will continue to work on determining the main idea of a text, and sections of texts. This week and over the break, we are encouraging the children to continue to read their "just right" books, but they will not be expected to keep logs of their reading activity.
Writing - We are continuing to revise our non-fiction pieces, elaborating on what we teach our readers by using a variety of techniques, including: cause and effect, pros and cons, and compare and contrast. There is no writing homework this week!
I hope everyone has a great week, and a WONDERFUL winter break! Happy Holidays!
