Our second story in Unit 4 of Reading Street is "The Life Cycle of a Pumpkin." This semester many of the stories in our reading book are non-fiction. Non-fiction is harder to comprehend. We recommend that the students read the non-fiction stories more than once at home. In Unit 4 we will be practicing these reading skills a good bit: compare/contrast and fact/opinion.
In addition, we are beginning 2-digit subtraction with regrouping! This takes lots of repetitive practice. Ask your child to explain these letters: BBB! Students need to have the basic (1 through 20) subtraction facts memorized! So, we also recommend additional practice of math facts at home.
Remember to check this website for assignments should school close due to weather!
TEST SCHEDULE:
Friday - Spelling (Remember that this is a short week; students will not get as much practice with spelling words in class. Put in extra practice at home if needed!)
