Dear Parents,
We have had a busy and challenging week becoming more independent during our ELA unit about learning challenges. Your children are reading passages about how children access books in other countries. They have to determine the gist of each paragraph, main idea of the text, and refer back to the text explicitly to answer questions. Next week they will be writing a paragraph with a focus statement and details about the learning challenge in the country they reading about (For a writing grade). I'm sure you will agree that this sounds challenging. It is. Please encourage your children to listen, pay attention, and follow directions. Not doing these things has become a problem during ELA. Your children are more than capable! Thanks so much!
Next week in Math, we will begin our Data/Graphing Unit. We will analyze bar graphs and picture graphs. We will collect data and organize it into a graph. We will also answer questions about graphs.
Our Positivity Project focus is Integrity.
In science, we will continue to explore matter.
In social studies, we will continue government.
