Wednesday May 11, 2016

Highlights:

We wrote about our robots today.  We needed to really think about the steps that we used to build our robots.  What we did first, second, third and last.  

Homework:
Literacy M.A.P.
Monday: stay, dark, boat, race
Tuesday: fire, start, started, want
Wednesday: wanted, wait, waited, live
Thursday: Review
Friday: Quiz

Tell and Show: Tricky, tumbling, terrific letter “t” this week….. be totally creative!

Dream Box: Dreambox is an interactive math program that the students have been working on here at school.  We encourage the students to log in at home and practice developing their problem solving skills. Teachers are able to track their progress and see what areas they are excelling in or that may need improvement. Here is the link: https://play.dreambox.com/login/dq8q/panoramahs

Home Reading – Please have your child read around 20 minutes every night.  Don’t forget to engage your child by talking to them about the text.  Being a good reader is more than just knowing the words!!  Good readers will: make connections, ask and answer questions, visualize the text, make inferences and transform their thinking.

Alternatives to Traditional Reading – Part of being a good reader is understanding how to tell a story!  Sometimes listening to a good book is just as educational as reading a good book. Please check out the links below for alternatives for those days where you’d like to a change of pace.
