ASK ME ABOUTS: 

Ask me about...
  • fables...What are fables and what do you find in fables? Ask your child about some of the fables we read this week and the lessons that they set out to teach. Maybe you could read some fables together, too. There are many available online. 
  • the opinions I shared this week. When sharing our opinions, we are working to provide reasons and examples to support our opinions.    
  • what I learned about China through reading maps this week. 
  • Our mystery reader this week.
  • how I can solve this number story:
    • Madison had a box of 64 crayons. She gave 26 to Maya. How many crayons does Madison have now? 

LOOKING FORWARD:

Looking forward, we will:
  • continue our folktales unit by reading and discussing fables and working on a fable reader's theater.
  • work in unit 12 in fundations, focusing on the vowel teams oi and oy.
  • learn about Beijing.
  • continue in our opinion writing unit, writing our opinions and providing reasons and examples to support our opinions. Next week, we will begin writing about beloved books!
  • Work more with arrays and take our unit 6 assessment in math (focusing on solving number stories, time, and arrays). 
Enjoy the weekend!
