This week in math students are focusing
on multiplication. We are using arrays
as a tool to help us solve multiplication
problems. Students can practice
multiplication using flash cards at home.
We will also be starting our speed test
this week!
We will be continuing to work on our inferring
skills using clues to decipher what the author
wants us to know. We are also working on the
plot of stories, and we have introduced the
element of characters and their traits.
This week we are continuing our study of verbs
and their endings to show when the verb has
happened. Our spelling rule this week is
adding the inflected ending –ing to verbs.
In our writing workshop, we are continuing to brainstorm ideas for
some poems of our own. We are exploring how adjectives can
emphasize our nouns and with deepening our study of verbs, we
are adding to this. Adverbs will be the next concept we cover.
Continue to work on your child’s paragraph structure in their
reading task responses.
