Week of Oct. 10 - 14

Hello families,

I'll be sending home the preferred day/times to meet for the parent/teacher conference this week. Please send these back as quickly as you can so we can make the schedule. I really appreciate it!

Math: We are in the thick of adding and subtracting within 1000.  The students will wind up with specific lessons on adding this week, and they will begin subtracting.

Writing: The students will be finishing the process of the friendly letter this week, and we will mail them on Friday. If you haven't already done so, will you help your child find the address of the person that they are writing to? They need to have the address (name, street address/p.o. box/city, state, zip) by Friday.

Reading: The students will be reading about our nation's landmarks and examining the question "How do landmarks help us understand our country's story?" They will be working on the following skills:


Comprehension Strategy: Ask and Answer Questions
Comprehension Skill: Main Idea and Key Details
Word Study: compound words
Spelling Strategy: Long /o/

Grammar: simple and compound sentences
Vocabulary: massive, national, carved, traces, grand, clues


We have finished all of our placement testing, so this week, the students will begin working in small reading groups. I'm excited to sit down and read with them!

Please call or email me if you have any questions!
Mrs. Urbaniak
