ELA- We are wrapping up Unit 1 in our Reading Street curriculum. This includes reviewing each week's skills and concepts. The Unit 1 OPM will be this Wednesday. We are also working on opinion writing. Opinions are the feelings of the author, but must be backed by facts and details. Opinion writing will continue through October.
Math- Topic 4 will begin on Monday. The concepts of multiplication and division continue through Topic 6. The class goal for all students to earn 100% fluency on Reflex Math for addition and subtraction was discussed at conferences. I would really like for all students to be able to move up to the multiplication and division concepts by November 1st. Fluency percentage can be viewed within the Reflex Math program.
Other- The PTA fundraiser begins tomorrow! :-)
Home-School Talking Points:
1. How many students have already reached 100% fluency in Reflex Math for addition and subtraction? (6 students/25% of the class!)
2. What is Zoom? (A Morning Meeting game we play.)
3. What was My Rows and Piles of Coins about? (It was the last story we read in our Reading Street textbook)
4. Who is Silly Sally? (A riddle the class is working on to figure out her likes and dislikes.)
Thank you,
Ms. Stroud
