Week 19

Some special things to note/changes: 

- We are now doing Wednesday folders. Your child's graded work will come home on Wednesdays and need to be checked and then signed for that date on the paper inside the Wednesday folder. 

- My email is now Amini. 

 I can't believe it is already Week 19 of school. I know it's said all of the time, but WHERE DID TIME GO?! 

 This week in Reading we learned about inflectional endings (adding "-ing" and "-ed" onto words), continued examining the theme of stories, and determining the character, setting, and plot of a story. We also looked at some paired passages and how to relate the two. 

 In Math we started fractions. Fractions are one of my favorite things to teach! A lot of people have a misconception that fractions don't make any sense, so I LOVE breaking that barrier. Ask your child about equivalent fractions, fractions on a number line, and putting fractions into simplest form. 

Science was a little messy this week. By that I mean we were examining soil. We were going to solve a crime of who stole the skateboard! We didn't finish, but the mystery will be solved on Monday!

In Social Studies, we are getting into Texas being a part of America! Almost caught up to current times :)

One thing I really like to do is make videos that can be informative for both students and parents. The things we teach are beginning to get very complicated. To help combat this issue, I really enjoy and find it helpful to make videos and post them on here to help both parents and students. Please email me or comment if there is anything you or your child is struggling with and would like me to make a video about.

That's all for now!
