Week in Review

Thank you to everyone who made it to our Parent Information Night last night. If you were unable to be there, I will send an email containing the presentation for your review. If you have questions, please contact me!

This week we completed our new assessments in i-Ready. It is an adaptive tool that measures student performance in both math and reading to establish a baseline. Subsequent lessons are  individualized practice based on the diagnostic performance. 

Here is a link to a family video that further explains the program.

Looking Forward

Next week in ELAR we will be learning about making connections to books we read. We will make text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world connections. In writing, we will be writing personal narratives, or stories from our lives. I love doing this unit at the beginning of the school year because I learn so much about my students! In math, we will begin an addition and subtraction unit. 

Upcoming Curriculum 

Language Arts: I can make connections to books I read. I can write narrative stories about my own life. 

Math: I can represent addition or subtraction word problems up to 10 by using appropriate strategies such as concrete objects, pictorial models, and number sentences.

Science: I can explain how science or an innovation help others.

Social Studies: I can explain that a community is a group of people who live and learn in the same place.
