Dear Students and Parents,
This past week we were privileged to be a part of a live videoconference with
Superintendent Notter when many interesting questions were asked by select
students throughout Broward County. Congratulations to all our students for
an excellent creation for our first cereal box project. We will be sharing
them with the class throughout the week.
We are pushing ahead on the train of success for the 2nd marking period and
are focusing on excellent and responsible CHAMPS behavior. Staying on task,
BEING GOOD LISTENERS, AND assisting others describes our role model students!
This week we will be reading “Stone Soup” and focus on the comprehension skill
of plot development while focusing on the strategy of making inferences and
the grammar skill of recognizing action verbs. In Math we’re having a chapter
8 test on Monday, 11/16 and our students can do a practice/review test on p.
171 (text). We’ll be learning about multiplication with 2, 3, 4, and 5
arrays, and problem-solving with too little or too much information.
In Language Arts we're continuing our writing, editing, and revising and using
a graphic organizer to plan our expository pieces.
In Science we’re creating a model cloud.
Our Social Studies curriculum is underway discussing communities and the
history behind their origins.
Please continue to check and sign your child's planner daily. You can contact
me by e-mail anytime at
www.shirley.moskowitz@browardschools.com. I make it a point to check it at
least 3 times a day and get back to you in a timely manner. Please ensure
optimal learning by having our students get a good night's sleep and having
time in the morning for a healthy and energizing breakfast. Thank you.
Truly yours,
Mrs. Moskowitz
