**Please clearly label your children's coats and sweaters. Quite a few of the students have been leaving their things in their cubbies or on the floor and they do not have names in them.

This week in Reader's workshop we are working on Poetry. We will learn about the elements of poetry. We will identify rhyme, rhythm and alliteration in poems. We will also be writing poems to make our very own Book of Poetry.

This week in Writing Workshop we are focusing on writing about Small Moments. We will write stories with more detail and stretch our small moments out. We will begin working with a partner when we write to help us verbally rehearse our writing before we get it on paper.

In Word Work this week we will be working on the long o sound. The long o sound is spelled o as in rope. (Silent e at the end)

Spelling words: cone, rope, bone, code, hope, joke

Sight word vocab: do, big, get, had, saw

Challenge: phone, turkey

In Math this week we will finish our unit on Learning Strategies for Basic Addition and we will begin our unit on Patterns. The math homework that is sent home in the Monday folder is optional. It is extra practice for your child that they can work on at their own pace. There is no need to turn it in.

In Social Studies this week we will finish our unit on Maps and Globes. We will make a map of our school and use it to find places in our building.

Have a great week!

Mrs. Caballero
