Be on the Lookout for…
- 🎒💻 Tuesday folders are coming home today. There is a lot of school information as well as some work samples. Work samples will make their way home every few weeks. Please take time to review your child’s work and discuss their successes and areas for improvement. I do NOT need these samples back.
- 🥞😍 If you are willing to donate paper plates, plastic forks, or sugar free syrup for THIS friday’s science experiment, please let me know asap 🙂 Thanks!
- Information on “Mystery Reader” will be coming home next week. Think about if you or a loved one would like to come into our class to be a surprise reader to our class!
- Upcoming teacher workdays are Monday, September 25th and Monday, October 9th. There is no school for students on those days.
This week in Literacy:
Students are nearly finished with beginning of year reading benchmarks, yay!
We are continuing our reading about overcoming learning challenges from around the world. So far we have been to Columbia, and Chad and Afghanistan! Our new reading curriculum is a big learning challenge in itself, but students are working hard to seek evidence to prove their thoughts and answers.
Thank you for ensuring your child reads at LEAST 10 minutes a day at home. You can write their minutes at the bottom of agendas next to the day of the week. word-readingrules
This week in Math:
We are continuing to connect repeated addition and patterns to open our minds to multiplication and division concepts. Memorization of facts is not the goal (YET…) rather, I want to ensure students know when and WHY multiplication should be used. There are tons of great resources for this skill- please check some out here in this amazing math review resource organized by skill.
This quarter in science: In 1st quarter students will focus on understanding Matter.
3.P.2 Understand the structure and properties of matter before and after they undergo a change. and 3.P.3 Recognize how energy can be transferred from one object to another.
