Hello!
Welcome to February, I cannot believe that we are through the month of January.
February is I Love to Read Month. One of my biggest goals this year and in upcoming years is to instill a love for reading text of choice in all of my readers. For I Love to Read month I challenge you to take some time and read text you love as well. This makes it easier on your child to read by example. I will be doing the same in class as they are reading text of their choice.
In math we are focusing on Geometry. Identifying 3D Shapes, Sides, vertices, and edges of polyhedrons, perimeter, area, surface area of a net, and volume. We will take our next math test early next week on
Language Arts: We are currently finishing up our prepositional houses that will be on display in the hallway as you come in for conferences.
Our focus skill for spelling this week is prefixed words. Two sentences will need to use a prepositional phrase correctly. A prepositional phrase is adding on information about the location, time or movement of something. Example: We had to rewrap our grandma's birthday present after we found it chewed apart by the dog. After we found it is a time preposition. We will be moving into poetry tomorrow and focusing on different versions of poems to create our own poetry packets.
Reading: Our expository text (nonfiction) is Winter's Tale which is the nonfiction story of the movie A Dolphin's Tale. We are focusing on main idea and key detail as we read and decipher the story together or with partners. We will be testing this coming Friday on two comprehensive stories. Their focus will be Main Idea/Detail and Latin Root Words.
Reminder that conferences start this week, I copied the link below so that you can look at your date and time, if you are not signed up let me know if any available times work for you, I am flexible before and after school though so I can definitely accommodate to your needs.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) we will head over to the B.E.A.T to watch the middle school play.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns
