This is going to be a great week. We will be finishing up our Data chapter in math and taking our final test on Thursday. We did a quick introduction into google slides so the students will be presenting their animal reports this week as well. In writing we are working on an opinion piece on the rain forest. We also will be working on or STEM project which is cleaning up oil spills.
Remember, It is the last week of the quarter so there will be NO SCHOOL on FRIDAY, March 18. I can’t believe we are heading into 4th quarter next week. I love our class so much and am sad to see how fast the time is going.
Homework, Week of March 7
It is imperative that your child is participating in reading practice at home. Studies have shown that the more words a child read, the better their achievement is in all other areas. We will be starting book talks where the students talk about what they read the night before. Not only are they given homework points for reading, but they will be given participation points for discussing what they’ve read the night before. Thanks!

Sorts – Please print the words out and have them pick from the following categories to do nightly at home: (1 sort each night)
1. Sort your words into categories -Always do this one on Monday night and have your child explain the rule to you. The rest of the week, your child may choose what he/she would like to do for the rest of the week.
2. Turn the word sorts face down. Time your child to see how long it takes them to sort them into the correct categories. (You may only choose this sort to do once a week)
3. Write the words 3x each.
4. Write the words in ABC order
5. Give your child a practice spelling test.
6. Play ball – Have your child grab someone to play catch and let the fun begin. The person helping your child will say the word to him/her and he/she will spell the work back to you. Every time your child throws the ball have them say one letter of the word. Continue until your child has spelled the word. If your child makes a mistake, correctly spell the word for them, and have them start over.
7. Speed Sort- Time your child 3 times to see how fast they can sort their words.
8. Glue sort- Have your child glue the sort on a piece of paper.
9. Syllable Sort- Sort the words according to how many syllables they have.
