Please continue to support their learning at home. We now have homework on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Homework has to be completed by Friday.
You may help your child, but please, do not complete the homework for
them. Homework allows your child to review
skills learned at school. It also allows
them to show you what they know! J
We are also starting our Sight
Word Challenge on Tuesday (please see your child’s folder for more
info). Your student will get a list of
sight words to take home. Help your
child memorize the words out of order.
Another way to reinforce reading skills is by reading to your child, or
let your child read to you EVERY night for a minimum of 15 minutes. Don’t forget to record the minutes in your
child’s February Reading Log (see his/her folder).
In Math, we are starting our
unit on measurement. We are focusing on comparing the size of
objects by using proper measurement words (longer, shorter, taller, heavier, and
lighter), and by exploring different ways to measure objects by using nonstandard
measurement tools (cubes, paper clips…).
We just concluded our Science
unit on Earth materials, particularly rocks, and we are now switching to Social Studies.
Our unit is American Symbols and
American presidents (George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and our current
president).
As always, please do not hesitate to contact me at longe@fultonschools.org if you have
any questions or concerns.
