Please use these topics as a guideline if you are doing any extra work with your child at home.
Reading: Students should be reading for at least 20 minutes per night and talking about what they have read. They should focus on using independent reading strategies and can orally retell the story and make connections to what they have read.
Writing: Students are working on writing sequence paragraphs. Be sure that they are including a topic sentence, detail sentences, signal words and a concluding sentence in their writing.
Science: We have started our first unit in science! Our focus will be on forces causing movement.
Here are our 'big ideas' that we will be learning about throughout this unit:
1. There are several types of forces that cause movement.
2. Forces cause objects to speed up, slow down, or change direction through direct contact or through interaction at a distance.
3. Forces in nature, such as high winds or water, can have a significant impact on humans and the environment, and need to be regarded with respect
Math: Students are extending their understanding of two-digit and three-digit numbers by adding, subtracting and solving word problems. Please check out the "Websites to Visit" page to find games and activities that relate to our current topic.
