Math
This week in Math we will be subtracting with 3-digit numbers. As we move on, we are continuing to spiral our review of 3-digit addition and rounding to the nearest 10 and 100. The Family Letter is below for information and a fun at-home activity.
Reading:
This week our comprehension strategy is Asking & Answering Questions. The stories we are reading this week are “Room to Grow” and “Gary the Dreamer”. While reading, we are going to be paying close attention to text structure and the sequencing of events in a story.
Phonics:
i_e : five, time
u_e: cube, fume
Vocabulary:
admires – classmate – community – contribute
practicing – pronounce – tumbled
In class, we learn about these vocabulary words in connection to ourselves. If you notice your child using any of these words in context, this would be a great opportunity to celebrate their efforts!
Homework:
- Read at least 20 minutes per day. Making sure that your child does his/her reading daily is the single most helpful thing you can do to support educational success.
- REFLEX- at least 3 green lights per week!
- There is a link to Reflex on the right hand side of the blog. The username is: alexander3 and students will use their own network password to log in.
