I will be sending home subtraction and addition fact sheets. There will be 3 addition and 3 subtraction sheets. They are to be used to practice at home and do not need to be returned to school. The time is four minutes for addition and five minutes for subtraction. They need to have 80% of the problems correct to receive a + on addition and subtraction for the quarter.
Rigby Reading
We will begin Theme 4 this week. The focus will be on synthesizing and inferring.
Synthesizing: Think about it as a puzzle. Take pieces from the story and put them together to form a new idea. Our previous thoughts about a topic join with new information to form the new idea about the topic. Our thinking gets bigger.
Inferring: This is reading between the lines. It is not what the author has said, but instead what they have implied.
Grammar- We will review subjects and predicates. We will also review the types of sentences.
Spelling
The Rigby words this week are an, book, teacher, two, afraid, explain, layer, crayon, eerie, and meant.
