Welcome to Mrs. Daley’s Class!

Here’s What We’re Learning: Reading:
We have been reading our Guided Reading books, and learning how to make connections while we read. The students are still writing letters to me every week. In the letters, they are telling me their thoughts about their independent reading books. Students are expected to read 20 minutes a day for their homework. They need to put it on their log and have a parent/guardian sign it each night. They may skip one night out of seven.


Writer’s Workshop:
We have been learning to write realistic fiction, and we’ll be writing poetry soon.


Word Study:
We are continuing our 6-day Word Study Schedule. Students will receive new words on Day 1 and the test is on Day 6.


Math:
We are continuing to use “Rocket Math” to practice our facts and see our progress. Students are doing multiplication and division. They should practice them a few minutes each night. We will be doing our unit on division.


Social Studies:
We are finishing our unit on Colonial Times and the American Revolution. We will be learning about New Jersey government and symbols soon.


Science/Health:
We will be starting our unit on magnetism and electricity.
