Dear Room 112 Families, January 19, 2016 wk 18 issue 18
A few reminders for the week:
THIS WEEK IN: WORD STUDY Students will be doing sorting activities throughout the week in their word study notebooks to prepare for their spelling test on Friday. Please keep their word list / parent letter in their take home folders as it contains their individual sight words I test them on every Friday. READER’S WORKSHOP Students will dig deeper into the text through each reading and continue practicing reading strategies. We will discuss the meanings of the vocabulary words and identify the setting, characters and story parts in the text. We will also do small group reading instruction. WRITER’S WORKSHOP We will be immersing ourselves in informational writing texts in order to successfully write our own. We will be reading, noticing, thinking, and enjoying this genre of writing by looking through a wide variety of texts, including books and magazines. We are going to start thinking about what we are experts in – similar to “How – To” books. We will ask ourselves “How do writers share what they know?” We will learn the basic elements of non-fiction writing such as glossary, index, table of contents, diagrams, labels, etc. MATH We are at the end of Unit 4. Our Unit 4 assessment will take place this Thursday. A Unit 4 Review sheet will be sent on Wednesday for homework / review. SCIENCE In Science, we will be exploring light and sound. We will identify sound based on vibrations, pitch, and occasion. SOCIAL STUDIES Students are learning about the past and how people’s friendly acts and acts of courage have contributed / impacted families today.
