Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonder holiday and are excited about the new year.  Can you believe the end of the second quarter is next Friday? Where has the time gone?
We are starting our opinion/persuasive writing unit. Don't be surprised if your child starts asking for things they want and have several arguments for why they should have it.
We will be wrapping up Unit 3 in math next week. Please help your child with telling time to the minute with an analog clock or elapsed time if they are struggling with these concepts.
Our high frequency words this week are: early, need, far, hand.
In literacy, we are continuing to Think Like a Scientist. We are reading several nonfiction articles and using inferring to ask why things are happening. We are doing whole group activities as well as small group activities.
Please continue to have your child read and practice facts. Make sure you sign both the Reading/Facts (R/F) sheet and the Y5210 and have your child return them on Mondays.
