Hello families!
I hope you had a wonderful mid-winter break with your family! I enjoyed spending time with my sons and had fun taking Ben to a few special places (his older brothers were in school!). Brad and I got some projects done at home and even had a night out! Overall, a successful break!
In reading workshop this week we will be continuing to amp up our reading power! This week we will learn how to pick a goal based on the fluency, comprehension or literary language. Students will decide a goal on which they feel they need to work. Then I will form "Goal Groups." The groups will decide on a club plan together. They will determine tools they need for the group and steps to work toward their goal. I am excited to see how this comes together!
In writing, we have been working hard on our opinion writing letters. We have selected books that we feel are so good they deserve an award. We will work this week on creating an outline for an opinion writing paper. We will begin writing our papers and preparing a poster to go with the paper. Our final opinion writing unit will wrap up in the next two weeks!
In phonics, this week we will work on letter combinations in which the first letter is silent - kn, gn, wr and mb (climb). We will practicing sort words with those letter combinations and reading the words with a partner.
In math, we are working on partial sums addition and how to add two digit numbers. We will spend a lesson doing "explorations" to prepare for the next unit. At the end of the week I will send home the Unit 6 study guide. Students will take unit 6 math test next week on Tuesday, March 3rd.
Soon we will begin our next unit of Social Studies. We will be learning about the history of Walled Lake. We will take a look at the past and create a time line of events for the area. We will begin learning about the amusement park that was once in downtown Walled Lake.
Continue to send the necessary snow clothes this week... I see some snow in the forecast (boo!!).
Have a great week!
Mrs. Scheck
