Week of October 19 – October 23
Daily Five
 This week the students will be
introduced to the reading strategy
of sequencing. The students will use
transition words such as first, next,
last and finally when retelling a
story.
 The students will continue to
practice the comprehension
strategy of cause and effect. The
effect is what happened and the
cause is why it happened.
Phonics

words with the digraphs sh and th
and use them in sentences.

Language Arts

item and it will begin with a capital letter no matter where it
occurs in a sentence.

Please read over the day’s lesson and choose one or
two problems to discuss with your child. If she or he can
teach the concept to you, then you know mastery
occurred.
Math homework goes home every day, but Friday, in the red
folder. It is to be returned the next day. Homework is not
graded, but checked, and teachers keep track of whether the
homework is done or not as a report card requirement.
Timed math fact test goal sheets are to be
kept in the back pocket of your child’s red
folder in order for you to know what facts to
study each week.
Science
Solids and Liquids
Background knowledge: Solids and liquids are two
states of matter. Each state has different
properties. Solids and liquids can be described and
classified on the basis of their properties. Testing
can identify properties that cannot be detected by
senses alone.
We hope your child has shared all
the fun she/he had in science class
last week! Here are the objectives
for this week:
Lesson 10: Observing and Describing
Two Liquids
Lesson 11: Investigating Four Liquids
Lesson 12: Flowing Liquids
Lesson 13: Drop Races
Lesson 14: Mixing Liquids
Lesson 15: Investigating Two New
Liquids
Lesson 16: Comparing Solids and
Liquids
Students will record their
observations in science notebooks.
