Math:
Multiplication Facts:
We are going to be working very diligently at mastering our multiplication facts. Students have been learning to skip count as a strategy to learn our facts. The more they practice at home, the more efficient they become at recalling their facts!
This week we are beginning to study Measurement. We will be using the skills we learned studying fractions to measure length to the fourth and half inch. We will also be learning how to represent this data by creating line plots.
Reading:
This week we will be practicing our comprehension skill of summarizing and point of view. We will be reading “The New Hoop” and “Bravo Tavo.”
Phonics:
Suffixes: -ful, -less, -able
Inflectional endings
Vocabulary:
-gaze -discouraged -conservation -frustration -jubilant -recycling -remaining -tinkered
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!
MARCH POEMS
Each month students are required to memorize at least one poem. Below are the month’s poems. We only read through these in class once, so they need to be practiced at home. Students can pass off poems on Fridays whenever they are ready to recite them.
OPTIONAL – yet HIGHLY encouraged by Mrs. Alexander – REVIEW
- 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.
- I have been trying to make time for students to work on REFLEX during the day, but some days it just isn’t possible. Please check with your child to see if they got their green light during the day. If not, doing it at home would be a big help to your child!
