This week our comprehension skill is plot.  We will learn that the plot of a story is what happens from beginning to end in a story.  Remembering the important story events and the order in which they happen can help us keep track of the plot of a story.  As you read at home with your child please take a few minutes to discuss what happens at the beginning, middle, and end of each story.  

Spelling:  Your child’s new list is attached to this letter.

Math:  Thanks for helping your child with his/her math links.  I am noticing substantial gains in the students who do these homework papers on a nightly basis.  Next week we will be working on subtraction.  This would be a great time to get out some subtraction flashcards and help your child review at home.

Social Studies:  We are learning about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.  Please ask your child to tell you a few important facts about each.

Progress Reports:  These will be sent home next Friday.

Have a great week!
