Dear Parents and Guardians,

I enjoyed meeting with you on Report Card Pick-Up. If you were unable to come in, please write me a note to arrange a time when you are able to pick up your child's report card. I will arrange a time that is convienient for both of us.

On Wednesday, November 26th, Room 204 will have a pizza party thanks to winning the most candy sold by a room. Special thanks should go to Nicholas Gober and his family who sold over $900.00 in sales. Wow! Thanks to all families that helped to make this possible. Just in time for Thanksgiving!

This week we will be working on the following:

LANGUAGE ARTS:

We will review and take the comprehension test on <strong><em>Rugby and Rosie</em></strong>, the realistic fiction story in our OpenCourt readers. We will review cause and effect as this story requires asking what happened and what happened as a result.

We are continuing our mystery unit. This unit requires students to figure out clues to solve the mystery found in the books the children are reading. Mysteries also support comprehension strategies such as prediciting, summarizing, asking questions, making inferences, and visualizing as well as comprehension skills such as cause and effect, comparing and contrasting, author's purpose  and other  important skills that are needed to support students comprehension.

MATH:

We will continue to work on Unit Three. This week we will learn more about the U. S. standard unit of measure as well as reviewing geometric shapes and finding the perimeter of these shapes or polygons. We will have a quiz on Wednesday covering geometric shape identification as well as finding the perimeter of polygons.

We will continue learning our multiplication facts. I will send home copies of the basic multiplication facts. It's a good idea to copy these sheets so your child can always challenge themselves to learn the basic multiplication facts.

HOMEWORK:

Home Link .3.4, Home Link 3.5, Home Link 3.6, Math Box 3.4 and other Math Boxes as assigned

Science:

Discovering what happens when water gets cold or is heated.

SOCIAL STUDIES:

We will gain practice finding answers to questions in <em>Map Essentials</em> our social studies text. Finding the answers to questions in nonfiction text is an important skill and requires that the children refer to the material read and answer the questions appropriately.

 

<strong><em>I           WISH     YOU       ALL      A       HAPPY       AND      SAFE         THANKSGIVING!</em></strong>
