Math – using multiplication and division in problems.PLEASE help and practice the multiplication facts with your child. We are up to 6 tables in November .

Reading – Lesson 7- Justin and the Best Biscuits – skill is conflict, plot events, and resolution.

We are also learning how to answer an open-ended question. We are trying to integrate our robust vocabulary in our normal conversations.

Spelling – words with a VCCV (vowel consonant, consonant, vowel) where and how to break it into syllables. This helps in decoding an unknown word.

Writing – completing personal narratives with alliteration and similes. We are beginning to write friendly letters and learn the parts of the friendly letters.

I am so impressed with the children’s narratives. They are already making large strides in writing.

Science –Wetlands mini-unit. Swamps, marshes, bogs, and fens.

Social Studies- completing map skills-----------------------------------------------------

Parent teacher conferences are coming up in 2 weeks. You will receive your child’s report card at that time. I will keep to the 15 minutes to be

sure we don’t run over and delay the next person.
