Reading: Kids should be reading a novel they brought home with them today for at least 25 minutes. Our goal is to finish 2 novels this month. Kids have 20 - 30 minutes each day at school to read their books as well as the time at home. It should take the average reader of an average 5th size book about a week to read and finish.
Writer's Workshop: We have spend 6 days generating ideas and writing our stories as they happened. We are working on personal narratives, so these are the stories of our lives. By tomorrow, kids should have 9-10 stories in their notebooks. These stories DO NOT have to be finished, but enough of the story to practice our writing skills and strategies. We are working on stamina and writing fluency.
Math: Kids have a math sheet they may be a little challenging. It is multiplication facts organized similar to a Sudoko puzzle. Mr. K encouraged kids to put time in, but don't let your kids struggle. Just jot a note in the planner that your child worked on it. Mr. K will be available during morning recess to help anyone who needs it.
See you tomorrow night for Open House!
