Weekly Blog Update – January 26, 2014
Dear Parents,
Almost everyone turned in their homework on Friday this
week! I am so proud of the kids for this.
Our reading, spelling and math practice is really helping us in class as
well. If your child is still having
trouble learning their math facts, I would encourage them to use xtramath.com
or the Math Magician website that is linked to this blog on the sidebar. Thank you for encouraging and helping your
child as they become more independent with their homework.
In writing, we are working on writing “teaching books” and most students are working on their second or third book. We looked at ways to add to our illustrations to make our books even better! We are also reading non-fiction books to help us look at the text features commonly found in non-fiction writing.

In reading, we are meeting in our guided reading groups and
working on comprehension skills and reading for meaning. We discussed the
importance of re-reading when something doesn’t make sense and trying to self-
correct our reading errors.
In math, we are learning about counting and number patterns
to 120 as well as beginning place value.
We have also been playing addition war and subtraction war using playing
cards to practice our math facts as well as xtramath and games on jmathpage in
the computer lab.
Please remember library books on Monday and Sneakers for
P.E. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
I hope you are enjoying this weekend. Its great to see the
sun shining!
