CRCT: Week of April 17th

Unit Focus:
Spelling: Spelling Unit 20
The current word preview will come home with your child on Monday. Spelling test will be Friday. Please help your child study his/her words nightly.
Math: Our current math unit is Measurement. Please work with your child on telling time and using a ruler. We also continue to work on strategies to solve word problems. Ask your child about their math journals.
Reading: Please have your child bring in a book (any book on their level) that they wish to read for our reading workshop time. This book will need to travel back and forth from school and home daily. We will use this book during class time and students will be responsible for reading at least 20 minutes at home each night. Please spend some time each night asking questions about the current book your child is reading. The who, what, where, and how questions will help your child retell the story and help him/her with comprehension. Great preparation for the CRCT.
Science: The current unit we are working on is Energy. We will discuss the various forms of energy this week and where energy can be found.
Writing: We will be working on persuasive writing these last nine weeks. A great home activity: If your child is wanting to buy something, have them write a persuasive paragraph on why they should have it prior to the purchase!
