Happy Monday! I hope you all enjoyed this weekend.
Here's what you can expect this week:
Math : 2nd grade math: We will finish up Unit 7, and start Unit 9. This unit focuses on measurement. 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 start Unit 7. This unit focuses on patterns in products and building "fact power" in multiplication.
Literacy: Our new common focus will be comparing a variety of Cinderella stories from different cultures. Looking at what is the same and different between the texts key parts. Main idea and non-fiction text features (captions, diagrams, headings, etc.) will continue to be a focus. 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 are under way. 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 19 test on Friday. We also test on review concepts to ensure application and success for the test!
Wordly Wise: We will finish up Lesson 9. Did you know you can view and practice Wordly Wise lessons online? Here's the link: Wordly Wise

Writing: We will continue our work in expository writing. This week's prompt will be Explain why reading is important?
