FOCUS SKILLS:
Reading: pronoun/verb agreement, re-reading and text evidence, context clues
AR points should be at least 18 /85% average by Friday; Study Island assignments

Social Studies: State research project...this will all be worked on in class. Each student will choose a state to research and present to the class; Study Island assignment
Science: Scientific Method
Just a word on homework...helping your child understand a question or a math problem is wonderful; checking over their work and having them correct mistakes is phenomenal, holding them responsible for completion is tremendous...giving them answers, does not help them.

Thank you for being diligent in reading with your child. Time invested daily in reading aloud to your child or having them read aloud to you is an invaluable tool in building reading skills. Questions about the stories, characters, all the "why's"lead to strategic thinking. 15-20 minutes a day of reading with you can change the trajectory of your child's success.
Multiple children at multiple levels in the family? Choose a chapter book that can be read aloud to the entire family!
