October 19-23
Hello C3 Families!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
I hope you all had a great weekend! I sent out an email about our day on Friday, which I hope you've had a chance to read. If you have not yet read it, please be sure to do so.
Behavior reminders:
As we begin the week, I will be reminding students of their opportunity to strive for their personal best and contribute to a positive, successful learning environment for themselves and their classmates. I know each student is capable of being an incredible leader, and I look forward to seeing them put those leadership skills into action this week!
Please take some time to speak with your child about the importance of:
Following directions and respecting classroom expectations.
Being considerate of others and allowing everyone the opportunity to learn.
Approaching school with responsibility and maturity.
Staying on task and making productive use of learning time.
Practicing self-control, even when they feel frustrated or excited.
Halloween Fun Next Week!
We will be having some fun Halloween activities on Friday 10/30 from 1:10-2:15. Thank you Melissa for organizing! If you did not see Melissa's email, here is the link to sign up to run a center if you would like to help: signups.
Wear orange on Wednesday for Unity Day!
Tuesday Envelope: Every Tuesday, your child will come home with an envelope of finished work, graded quizzes and tests and announcements. This week, they will come home with their graded Hats Off to the President packets and Topic A math quiz. Please be sure to sign your student's quizzes and review the content with them. Yellow envelopes need to be returned on Thursdays.
OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
ELA: This week, we will begin Benchmark Unit 4 "Understanding Different Points of View." This unit explores the essential question, "What do we learn when we look at the world through the eyes of others?" In this unit, students will read and compare the points of view in different selections and analyze how point of view affects a story. This week, we will be reading "Here, Boy" and "Waiting for Stormy."
Writing: This week, we will begin a new writing assignment based on a text we read a couple of weeks ago, "The Gnat and the Lion." Students will work on including dialogue in their writing by crafting a Narrative entitled, "A Conversation with the Gnat."
Math: This week, we will work on Module 2, Topic B. In topic B, students apply the distributive property to multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number.
Students will be bringing home the Topic B Study Guide on Thursday and will take the quiz on Friday.
Homework: Homework includes Math Apply Book pages, cursive, daily math review and 20 minutes of reading. Please refer to the Homework page on my website to view the schedule. Checking your student’s communicator is the best way to stay updated on homework. I try to stick to the homework listed on the website, but sometimes plans change and the communicator will have the most updated information.
