Assalamualaykum Parents and Guardians
I just wanted to update you about this topics that we will/are covering this week. I will be sending a new class schedule this week with your child!
Mathematics - we continue to review Base Ten Blocks in the classroom. Representing, renaming/regrouping and rounding (to the nearest hundreds and nearest tens). Please continue to practice with your child at home Place Value - especially rounding!
Language - Reading comprehension, children were sent hoe with a story and reading comprehension questions. Parents are to listen to their child read the story and be there to assist in answering the questions. In class we are reading "The Penguin Problem." The students are loving the story so far. We are practicing asking questions before during and after each chapter. Please encourage your child to ask questions when they are reading their books at home. We become better readers by asking questions because it helps us conceptualize what is happening in the story, it also allows to read for a purpose.
