Dear Families,
Today we heard the story Home Sweet Home and practiced drawing conclusions.
We reviewed strategies we can use when we are having trouble spelling words in writing workshop. (Malcolm)
We are comparing the weight of objects in math. (Robby)
We went to Art. (Alyssa)
We learned facts about Abraham Lincoln. (Nick)
Note:
I have noticed more of our kids struggling with their spelling words over the last few weeks. Spelling words are getting more difficult so extra practice at home may be needed. Students have many opportunities to practice their words at school too. Students are put into groups based on our assessments. I will be re-evaluating spelling groups before we begin our next unit. This can be discussed at our upcoming conference together.
Clarification about spelling groups: Bees--on level words, Parrots--above level, and Cats--advanced and challenging words
