Monday Memo
April 6, 2015
Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter break! It is so
nice to be enjoying spring!! It seems like we waited a long time for it to
come…
This week we are starting a new story about the wildfires
at Yellowstone. Again, it goes perfectly with our theme: Nature:
Friend or Foe. The story talks about the damage the wildfire caused and
the good things that came from that. We will be working on the following
skills: Comprehension, Vocabulary, Main
Idea, Supporting Details, and analogies.
The grammar lessons this week are over writing with adjectives. We will
also discuss the use of the words good and well. The spelling words are
attached to this memo.
Just a reminder that your child has a library book for
their RC book, which is due to be tested by April 15th. I appreciate
you having them read each night for 20 minutes!!
For math this week we will be working on determining
whether a whole number is a multiple of another number. We will also be
exploring properties of prime and composite numbers to 100 by using multiples.
We are starting a new unit in Science this week. We will
be talking about volcanoes and earthquakes. It goes nicely with our nature
theme in reading.
I hope everyone has a great week!! As always, please call
with any questions/concerns!! Thanks for all you do for your children!
Have a great week!
