Students will also begin learning how to write a paragraph. The first type of paragraph they will be writing is an expository paragraph.

       This quarter in social studies we are beginning our unit on Communities. We will learn where people live, work, play, and solve problems.  We also will explore the different types of communities and their features.  We will be taking a trip in October to Greenfield Village to help us learn about how communities have changed over time.

       Everyday Mathematics fully aligns with the national Common Core State Standards for mathematics.  This quarter, we will focus on the following:  number sequences, telling time, grouping by tens, counting patterns, greater than/less than/equal to, and working in small groups.  Students will also complete Home Links which extend concepts already taught in the classroom.  Finally, students will be engaging in the use of math games and manipulatives that will further enhance their understanding and application of math concepts.

This quarter in reading we will be moving from the First Readers into Anthology 1.  We will be focusing on reading comprehension strategies and begin taking weekly reading tests that are a combination of multiple choice and short answer comprehension questions and vocabulary questions.            

*Guided Reading (Mrs. Frankowiak’s class)

This month I will continue to work in small reading groups based on your child’s instructional level. Every 2 weeks a running record will be done on each child to see if they have made progress and can be moved up to the next reading level. In addition students will be engaged in activities to help increase their fluency and comprehension. Each week your child is given 5 dolch sight words to practice to help increase their fluency.
