Dates to Remember:

What's Happening in Class

 It is very important that each student has this reading time each night. This will make your child a stronger more independent reader. (and better writer too!)

When your child has completed their reading each night, they should be logging their reading time into their reading logs including pages read, each night. ( example pg. 30- 46)

This is an important tool for both the students and me, to reflect on and evaluate their personal

reading progress.

Writing/Reading - In writing, we are beginning our informational unit. Students will be choosing a topic they know a lot about, and composing an organized writing about that topic.

In Reading, we are working on Main Idea and Details using non- fiction texts.

 Math- We are beginning Topic 6 "Connect Area to Multiplication and Addition"

Please continue to have your child practice their math facts at home.

To log into Pearson :

1   log into Google using your student email

2 - go the Elms site, click on "for parents and students tab",

3 - choose  Envision Math Login  

4 - Click in the REALIZE  tab

Extramath.com  - students may log in at home for extra practice with math facts.

STUDENT PLANNERS

Your child will be bringing home their student planner each night.  It will have the current homework assignment for the night as well as any important reminders. I ask that a parent or guardian sign your child's planner each night. This signature will show that you have reviewed your child's work and the assignment is complete.

*The planner may also contain teacher notes when needed.* 

 CLASSROOM SUPPLIES

I feel it is important to keep the parent-teacher lines of communication open.

You may e-mail me at mahreha@jacksonsd.org anytime you have a question or concern.

If you prefer you can write a note in your child's planner. I check planners every morning. If it is a private issue, send in a note in a sealed envelope, attach to the planner.
