the great work in reading with your
child from 30 minutes each day and recording it in their RAH folders. In reading we’re working on predicting,
determining the most important events or details, sequencing, and retelling
stories.
In
math we’re working on multiplication as repeated addition. Help your child know the 2’s (2, 4, 6, 8, 10,
12, 14, 16, 18, 20), 3’s (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30.), and 5’s (5,
10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50).
Please
continue to have your child use Xtra
Math and SumDog. If you need the
passwords, please let me know. Some
students need a bit more work in place value.
Have
your child use the website on “Links” on my website, titled “Telling Time” and “Place
Value Game”.
If
you are interested in ordering Scholastic Books for your child, please use the
online ordering. Book orders will be
sent in on October 25.
Family Writing: Think about an interesting incident that you would like to share. Tell what happened and how you felt.
Writing
together encourages your child to see you having fun with writing, and allows
you an opportunity to spend time with your child while he/she learns.
If your
child is writing it on his/her own, look over the story with your child when he/she
is finished. See if you and your child
can add some details to make the story more clear and vivid.
I’ve provided a graphic organizer. The circle is for the title. The rectangle at the top is for the
beginning. The bottom rectangle is for
the ending. The rectangles coming out of
the circle are for the details (in order).
Writing together encourages your child to see you having fun with
writing, and allows you an opportunity to spend time with your child while
he/she learns. After filling in the
graphic organizer, write the story on paper.
Family writing is always due the Tuesday
after it is assigned, Tuesday, October 23.
