Next week we will be looking forward to our second week in our reading books. We will be reading The Trial of Cardigan Jones. He is a moose whose huge antlers have caused an uproar in the town where he lives. Our main comprehension skill this week will be working on using our inferencing skills to draw conclusions and answer questions from the story. The class has also been working on building reading, word work, and writing stamina for our daily 5 stations that happen during guided reading time.
In spelling and language we will focus on long vowel patterns and types of sentences. I will be emphasizing the difference between a complete sentence and a sentence fragment.
The class will finish up chapter 1 in math on place value and take our end of the chapter test on Friday. This week we will hit rounding hard. It is a difficult concept, so please talk to your kiddo about the steps in rounding a number to the nearest 10 and 100.
We will continue our character building and writing unit in social studies. By Friday we will be ready to write about our summer vacations using what we have learned about writing a paragraph.
