Here's what you can expect this week:
Math : 2nd grade math: We will continue Unit 7, Patterns and Rules. Stand Out Math facts' test will continue in your child's homeroom. Remember the goal for every 2nd grader is to master all addition and subtraction facts by the end of the year. In 3rd grade math, we will complete Unit 6, which focuses on geometry (specifically line segments, rays and lines, along with parallel and intersecting line segments). #rd grade math will also review for a mid-year assessment, and take the mid-year test this week.
Literacy: Our common focus this week will be finding the main idea and non-fiction text features (captions, diagrams, headings, etc.)Through our Weekly Reader and read alouds, we will hit additional reading strategies for shorter mini lessons that cycle through the year: inferencing, visualization, cause/effect, problem/solution, theme, moral, key events and details, and nonfiction text features to name a few.
New reading groups for reading conferences will begin this week. Look for additional information sent out by your child's teacher.
FAST: We will be working reviewing past concepts in the FAST weekly lessons, and review the R family concept for our Lesson 18 test on Friday. We also test on review concepts to ensure application and success for the test!
Wordly Wise: We will begin Lesson 9. Did you know you can view and practice Wordly Wise lessons online? Here's the link: Wordly Wise
