Mrs. Bishop’s News and Notes
4/23/12
Dear Parents,
Hi, I hope everyone had a great weekend. Today we had a WellStar
speaker teach us about water safety. Please ask your child what they learned
during our Whale Tales presentation.
This week in reading we will focus on thinking critically about
texts, author’s purpose, and responding to texts. We will continue to focus
on persuasive texts. Our phonics skills for this week include words with ou
and ow. Please make sure to continue helping your child study their words
throughout the week. In writing, we will continue to write persuasive
paragraphs. Thank you for responding to your child’s letter. If you have
not done that, please do write back to them as they enjoy reading your
response. We will continue to review using quotation marks in our writing.
We will begin learning about division strategies in math this week. We will
review multiplication strategies, making change, place value to the
thousands, and telling time. In science, we will continue learning about
life cycles. Please ask your child about the life cycles we have been
observing in our class. Ask them what stage the life cycles are in and what
stage will come next! We will continue to learn about Jimmy Carter in social
studies.
Have a fantastic week!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bishop
