Weekly Update 2/2

Due to the snow days last week, we will be continuing with many of the concepts from last week.

Writing
This week, we will be editing the students restaurant reviews. This will be done through the use of checklists, peer conferences, and teacher conferences. Our hope is then to write a final draft of the restaurant reviews.

Reading
Our focus is going to be on inferring and visualizing to help the students with their reading comprehension. The goal is to have students combine their background knowledge with clues from the text to make a reasonable inference. We will talk about, draw, and record what they infer and visualize during reading to facilitate their comprehension.

Math
The students are going to learn the Vertical Subtraction Algorithm. This is the traditional 2 and 3 digit subtraction with regrouping/borrowing.

Social Studies
We are still in Mexico and are enjoying learning about the culture of another North American country. We are looking forward to creating our first scrapbook page!

** Reminder that Wednesday, February 4th is an Early Release for Professional Development. Please send a note if there is a change in your child's dismissal plan.

Stay warm in the snow tomorrow! I guess 8-12 is better than 35 inches! :)
