Technology
Remember,
starting the second week of October, the computer specialty class we will be
learning email and Google Docs. This is a great tool for students to be
able to access their projects from anywhere without saving to a USB drive. Parents will have an option of opting
out. We will be sending forms for
parents to sign this week so please be looking for those.
Math
For
math this week we will review addition with regrouping (up to 4-digits),
rounding to the nearest ten and hundred, and up to 4-digit subtraction with
regrouping. Practice pages to review
these concepts will be in your child’s homework folder to supplement math
homework time.
Reading
This
week we will be working on the cause and effect comprehension strategy. We will also learn about plural nouns that
end with –s and –es. We will be sending
home an additional homework page on Common and Proper nouns (we need the extra
practice). We will continue to work on
writer’s workshop as well! Thanks for
all the hard work. Keep it up!
