Fine Arts Night

Star of the Week

Noor Al Nusif

Please have your child read

15 minutes nightly to improve
their fluency and
understanding. To help
understanding, please ask
them Who is in the story,
What are they doing, Why are
they doing it and What does
this story make you think of?
Asking these questions
nightly will greatly improve
your childs comprehension
skills. Thank you!

Each week we will celebrate a student in the

classroom for who they are. This has nothing
to do with behavior, we are just celebrating
the fact that they are important to our
classroom community.

Dear Families,
Welcome Back!!! I hope everybody had a fantastic and relaxing break. I am so
excited to see all of your children again. This week we will be doing a lot of
reviewing. Please make sure that all iPads are charged nightly and ready to be
used in class. I cant wait to see everybody!

Literacy

Ask who, what, when, where, how, and why questions while
reading a story (Suggested questions on the blog under
Helpful Questions for Reading tab)
Work with the elements of a story; Fairy Tale (Exposition,
Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and Resolution)
Continue with Adjectives

Ways to help at home: Please help your child at home by having

them read different fairy tales and asking them who the
characters are, what is the setting, what is the problem, how is
the story building up to the climax (the most exciting part), what is
going on in the story to come to the resolution. Have them write
their answers in the homework journal.
