Part 1 (Daily Reading Homework): your child needs to read at least 20 minutes every night. Please record what they read, how long they read for and then initial it.
Part 2 (Reading Comprehension): One of the main focuses of our year has been reading comprehension. Simply reading a book, article, or passage isn’t enough. Readers need to be able to re-tell what they’ve read in their own words! Tonight your student is reading a short passage about spiders. They need to use the implicit and explicit information in the three paragraphs to answer four simple questions. Please have your student explain to you their answers and why they marked what they’ve marked. You should also ask your child to tell you what the main idea of the article is and have them show you the main idea sentence.
Part 3 (Minute Math): Minute Math is a daily activity. It is not due until Friday.
Part 4 (Cause and Effect): We are working on writing about cause and effect. We are starting with Your Turn to Write #7. Your child is to write about making something happen. On the left side of the sheet should be causes. On the right side they need to write effects. I’ve sent home the example that I showed the students this morning. I’d like your student to re-do their Your Turn to Write #7 (I am including the one they completed in class today). If the one they’ve already done is fine then they should look for ways to write it neater and make it nicer on the copy they are writing tonight. Some students need to start over and focus on writing causes and the effects that go with them. We will use the completed YTTW#7 to write a paragraph in class tomorrow. Please go over their YTTW#7 to make sure that they understood and completed the assignment correctly.
