Dear Families,
We've been very busy at school! The children are practicing multiplication and division math facts and are about to learn a little bit about algebra before the weekend! While I have been publishing personal narratives with individual students, the children have been working on some independent writing projects. We voted in a mock election today, so ask your child about that experience. Many children are beginning to understand the way the Electoral College works.
The children have been reading profusely and working on predictions, comparing, contrasting, thinking deeply about their characters, and reading like writers. I hope you are seeing the same joy and excitement I am around reading. We're about half-way through our current read aloud, The Young Man and the Sea. In science, they have been exploring force and will test how weight affects their vehicle's movement. We will also begin reading about the Abenaki and their way of life before Maine was Maine.
To become prepared for conferences, the children have been reflecting on their effort and behavior. When you come in for your Family Conference, your child will give you a tour of their work for the first twenty minutes. We'll meet together for the second twenty minutes. I'm looking forward to meeting with all of you!
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, Renee
