Dear Families,
I hope this blog update finds you with power, safe, and dry! I am sorry not to be at school with the students today: three days of school impacts our learning and ability to complete our units of study. We will need to reschedule our place value test next week. Please look for a Remind message with the updated information at the beginning of the week. We will go forward with our witch hat recipe on Monday though!! Thank you for your willingness to contribute the supplies for this fun activity. I can’t wait to make a treat with the students!
Next week in reading we will continue to learn about nonfiction by asking and answering questions about the text. This is such an important comprehension strategy! When you are reading with your child ask them questions at the end of each page to see if they remember what they have read. We will begin using reference sources, starting with dictionary skills. In writing we will continue our paragraphs about the wild creature we created. If you would like to see what your child made please visit schoology. Your child will need to enter their email address: hcps-(their username)@henricostudents.org. In Math we will move on to estimation and computation of whole numbers 9,999 or less. The students really struggle when it comes to word problems. We will have some Math homework next week for them to practice this difficult skill. In Social Studies we will complete our unit on world geography. Please use the long weekend study the world map in your child’s agenda. They will have a quiz on continents, oceans, equator and prime meridian on Tuesday, October 16.
