Week of September 28 - October 2

Math: In math this week, we continued our multiplication journey! Students practiced creating and solving arrays and began working on reading and solving multiplication word problems. We have also been doing “5 Minute Math” at the beginning of each class to practice our multiplication facts fluency. Students LOVE trying to beat their goal from the previous day!

Phonics: Our phonics skill of the week was vowel teams. We practiced reading and spelling words with ee, oe, oa, and igh. 

Social Studies: We had our continents and oceans test on Wednesday, and many students did AMAZING! I am offering an optional retake next week for any student who would like an opportunity to improve their grade.

Science: This week, we learned all about the life cycle of a butterfly as we eagerly await the transformation of our very own chrysalises! Students also identified and labeled the different parts of a caterpillar and a butterfly.

Writing: Students have been practicing writing complete sentences with correct capitalization and punctuation—and, most importantly, adding DETAILS!  We will be starting our first writing assignment of the year next week.

Don’t forget to check out the “Photos” tab at the top of the page! Each month, I’ll add a new subpage with photos from that specific month, showing our students having fun and learning in the classroom!
