What's going on: Week of April 19

Here's what's going on the classroom during the week of April 19.
Reading: We have began the story, "Dear Mr. Henshaw" by Beverly Cleary. We will be working with inferencing, comprehension, and vocabulary. We will be testing on the story by the end of the week. ***Parents: Ask your child to bring home his/her reading textbook and have them practice reading fluency by reading the story out loud to you!

Writing/Grammar: Spelling test will be on Wednesday of this week. The word list is titled "One Land, Many Trails, Reading Writing Workshop". These words are commonly misspelled. **Help your child study at home!! A new word list will go home on Wednesday after the spelling test. The next list is from the story, "A Boy Called Slow". This word list works with words that have prefixes and suffixes. All word lists are stapled into your child's agenda book. However, they can also be found at the back of his/her Practice Book.
We will continue to work with commas, interjections, and using quotation marks.

Math: We are going to finish up with fractions this week. Then we are moving into measurement. We will be using the Customary Units of Length. With this we will be converting different units of length while practicing our multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction skills. We are still working on our multiplication fluency, so help your child study at home. We finally have one "Monkey Math Graduate", Bryanna Wright! She now gets to move onto division!

Additional Information:
*Continue to check your child's bookbag each Thursday for his/her "Thursday Folder". You will see your child's graded papers and give your insight to what is happenening in the classroom.
*I still need candy, paper towels, disinfecting wipes, and treats for my "Chance Box". The candy and treats for my "Chance Box" are given out on Fridays for good behavior.
