This week in reading we are learning about identifying characteristics of the characters and the setting in a story or a play. We do this by looking at the text and seeing what it says about the characters and the setting. We look for clues in the text and figure out what the character likes, dislikes, feels, looks like, etc . . . We also look at the text and identify where the story/drama is taking place. For spelling this week we will continue working with Sort 16. Students will take their test for this sort on Friday. Students will also take their 3rd Language Arts test. It will cover the things we have been going over last week and this week including the vocabulary for weeks 8 and 9.
In writing we are continuing to work on our Haunted House story. Students this week should finish their picture/prewrite. Then they will be drafting their story. This story will be due next Friday, October 25th.
In math we are learning how to do long division. We will be modeling it and learning how to do the standard algorithm. We are also reviewing multiplication. Students are still having trouble multiplying 2 digits by 2 digits and 4 digits by 1 digit. PLEASE take the time to review multiplication with your students! We will be taking our test for this unit next Tuesday, October 22nd. It will include multiplication and division. Please also take the time to help your student review for this test. You can access your students pretest, Unit 2 Test 1 on http://www-k6.thinkcentral.com. It will have your student's answers to the pretest, as well as the correct answers to the problems. The test we will be taking next week will have VERY similar questions on it. If your student understands the questions on the pretest, they should be able to pass the post text next week.
Our school is starting up Double Dosing again next week. If you are not familiar with this program, this is a wonderful chance for your student to get some extra small group help on concepts they are struggling with in class before or after school. We as teachers pick the students we believe could benefit the most from this extra help and invite them to Double Dosing for 2 weeks. If your student brings home a yellow paper inviting them to double dosing, please make sure you sign it and have your student bring it back to me giving them permission to participate in this wonderful program.
