    Scholastic Book Orders:


    Our class is LOVING reading time. They are all super interested in finding new
    genres and books to get hooked on! A wonderful way to support your child’s
    love for reading is to buy MORE BOOKS! Scholastic website has so many
    amazing books and they are such great prices!! Here is the link to browse books
    and order online: https://clubs.scholastic.com/
    Our class code for online orders is RHD8M. All book orders are sent to our school
    and then sent home with your child.
    Current Learning:

    Fundations: This week we will begin Unit 10 (2 weeks). Students will read and spell
    words with ai an ay, using spelling option procedure to spell words with a /a/
    sound. Students will also be introduced to the concept of homophones using
    definitions to support the correct spelling based on its meaning. For example:
    (main, mane).

    The trick words for this unit are:


    Week 1: great, country, away
    Week 2: America, school, thought
     PLEASE make sure you are practicing these words and patterns with your
    child every night. This will support them when they READ and WRITE!! It’s
    SO important!

    Math: We will begin Unit 6- Geometry this week. Students will identify, describe,
    draw, and create 2-D shapes based on their defining features. Students will
    explore the area of shapes, split shapes into various equal parts, and recognize
    that equal parts of identical wholes do not need to be the same shape.
    In Number Corner, we have been working on fractions through identifying
    the amount of red within a variety of Country flags. Our class has loved this as it
    relates to the Olympics! Quick facts! The quick facts are timed checkpoints for
    mastery (2 minutes) that support fluently adding/subtracting. The pace of these
    quick facts are student driven. If your child has mastered counting on facts, they
    will move forward to doubles, doubles plus or minus one, make ten, add ten,
    add nine, and leftovers. These are all of the strategies that we continue to learn
    and practice. For extra support at home, I would suggest having your child
    practice math fact fluency on XtraMath  https://xtramath.org/#/home/index

    Writing: We have successfully finished our Opinion writing unit! Our next unit will
    focus on Informative writing. Students will go through the process of the Scientific
    Method. They will pose questions, research, form a hypothesis, test experiments
    that focus on force and motion, and analyze their results. I love this unit! It has a
    strong focus on inquiry and science!

    Reading: We will continue to identify author’s purpose, character traits, story


    elements, lessons/morals, make inferences, and comparing/contrasting
    characters throughout our reading lessons. We will continue to investigate non-
    fiction text features in relation to informational texts (index, glossary, table of
    contents, captions, labels, headings, diagrams, maps, etc.)

    I will continue to BAS students to identify their instructional reading level this
    week. This is an assessment used to identify self-correction rates, accuracy, and
    comprehension on leveled texts. Once I have assessed all students, I will create
    new Guided Reading groups and continue supporting decoding and
    comprehensions skills.

    Social Studies: (Junior Achievement) Last week, students participated in making


    decisions that benefit their school community. They voted to express their
    choice and to determine the will of the majority. This week will be our last session
    with our Junior Achievement volunteers. We will miss our time together!!

    Have a GREAT week!
