A
note from Ms. Poteet…
As the weather is
getting warmer, make sure you dress your child in layers. Often it is chilly in our classroom but warm
outside. Packing a light jacket for the
classroom would be great.

What
are we learning?
Reading Workshop
We will learn how and why good
readers create mental images in their head while reading. Visualizing is a skill required when students
begin reading book without pictures.
When readers create mental images, they engage with text in ways that
make it personal and memorable to them alone.
Anchored in prior knowledge, images come from the emotions and all five
senses, enhancing understanding and immersing the reader in rich detail.
Writing Workshop
We are continuing our Poetry
Unit. Students will read various poems
written by children their own age, notice repeating words, usage of sensory
descriptors and other poetic devices.
Then they will try their own.
Word Study
This
week, we will explore word families (-ick, -ack, -uck, -ock) We will also learn how to read and write
these words that will be added to our Word Wall: run, has, three. Have your
child sing you the songs for these words.
Math
Students
will solve addition problems using mental math, learn about the quarter, and
equivalent names for numbers.
Social Studies
We will finish our study of the seven continents. We will focus on Antarctica, Europe, and
Australia.
