Dear Parents,
For starters, thank you for
coming and visiting with me at parent/teacher conferences. I had great discussions with all of you about
your child’s progress. Hopefully I was
able to answer any of the questions that you may have had. Also, please contact me at any time if you
have any questions or concerns about your child. Thanks!
I wanted to inform you of a
section on our classroom blog page that you or your child may be interested
in. If you look on the far left of the
blog page, you will notice a section titled “Reading Strategies to Try with
Your Reader.” These are strategies that
we have discussed and practiced during literacy. The strategies that we have covered so far
this year is as follows: “Drawing Conclusions,” “Making Inferences,” “Determine
Important Information,” and “Author’s Purpose.”
You can read about each strategy on the blog page and then your child
can click on the websites underneath each description and play a game to
practice that strategy. I will continue
to add more strategies as we continue to learn more strategies throughout the
year. Please remember to have your child
try these strategies, as they will review what we have learned. Thank you!
We are finishing up the
second unit in math on larger addition and subtraction. We will be testing this week and your child’s
math test will be sent home later next week.
I strongly advise all of the students to practice the addition and subtraction
facts at home to build up their memorization of the facts. This will help them when solving larger
addition and subtraction problems, which is a challenge for several
students. You can create flashcards and
have your child practice those facts with you.
Thank you!
Lastly, if there is a 3-hour
early dismissal on Wednesday, November 7th, as there is a teacher
in-service. Please plan accordingly for
the 12:25 PM dismissal. Thank you!
If you have any questions or
concerns, please let me know. Have a
fantastic week!
Sincerely,
Mrs. McCarville
