Welcome to 
Ms. Phillips, Mrs. Wood and
Mrs. Burleson's Web Page

********************************
 
This quarter our reading theme will be Neighborhoods and Communities. We will be reading Chinatown, A Trip to the Firehouse, Big Bushy Mustache, Jamaica Louise James, and Grandpa's Corner Store/Barrio. I hope you enjoy reading these with your child!

*****************************************
This quarter we will be learning about different cultures, communities, and how holidays are celebrated around the world during Social Studies. 

*****************************************
Ways to help your child at home:

Reading:
Our reading stories are sent home on Monday and Thursday nights. Please read these stories with your child. Ask them to tell you what happened after reading each page to help with comprehension. Then have them tell you about the story.

Math:
Use the Home Links pages that are sent home before each unit. Ask your child how it was taught to them that day. With Everyday Math new strategies are taught that are new to the students and to parents. Trust your children! ** Helpful tips!** While driving down the road ask them math facts, while shopping at the store have them read and or write the list and figure the amount of money needed for each item. Get involved to keep them involved!! 


Prescriptive Instruction (PI):

This is a web-based program that we are using at school this year. This is used for added support with reading and math skills. It moves along with the students needs and will not let them move onto another item until they have mastered an objective. Some students are pulled out of the classroom and given PI for help in reading or math. We also use PI when we visit the computer lab.  You may also access this from your home computer.
