Magazine Drive: Thank you so much for all of your hard work in gathering magazine orders. As one of our students said: "It doesn't matter that we didn't win...We raised money for the school and that's what matters."
MATH
As we begin chapter 1 this week, students will explore odd/even numbers, points on a number line, and place value. This includes listing numbers in standard, expanded and word form.
READING
The reading calendar you have been initialing when your child reads a good fit book for 20 minutes or longer each evening is due on Monday. This calendar reflects 10 points of their reading grade each month. Our strategy focus this week in on inferring. The students will use basal reading stories, supplemental short stories, and possibly novels to extend their practice of understanding what they read. We will also continue to work on an extended response where we use ideas from the text combined with our own ideas to answer a question.
SPELLING
We will be pretesting on lesson 6 (more long vowel words) on Monday, 10/3. If your child receives a 90% or higher, they will be working from the "challenge" list of words for their homework. All students complete the cursive worksheet as part of their homework. The challenge group will complete two activities and the non-challenge group will complete workbook 102 and abc order for homework. The final test and all homework is due on Friday.
ENGLISH
We will continue practicing descriptive writing through naming our own crayon colors, exploring sensory words, describing a 'mystery object' for our classmates to guess, and determining which details aren't alligned with a given topic.
SCIENCE
This week we will continue the study of chapter 4 on ecosystems. During our study, we are practicing using a nonfiction book and locating answers in a text.
Enjoy your week!
Enjoy your first weekend of fall!
