Hello B1 Families,
Happy October! We still have a few more weeks to get more donations towards our Dance-a-Thon fundraiser. Remember this is our BIGGEST fundraiser of the year, and our goal is to raise $45k schoolwide to support awesome enrichment opportunities for our Hawks, including fitness enrichment, art in the classroom, field trips, assemblies, classroom materials, and so much more!
Parent Teacher conferences are just around the corner. Conferences will be held October 14th-17th. Please click the link to sign up for a conference - Sign up for a conference HERE
OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
Math: In class we will review a study guide on Tuesday and an assessment will be given to students on Wednesday. Your child will come home on Tuesday night with a completed study guide. Please assist them with reviewing the problems, studying is their homework. This may look something like asking problems verbally, writing similar problems down on a new paper, or covering up the answers and redoing the problem. The assessment given will be very similar to the study guide.
Reader's Workshop: We will be starting our Benchmark Unit 2 books, called Ways Characters Shape Stories. Our focus will be answering the essential question: How do our actions influence our lives?
Students will continue participating in our Reader's Workshop centers which include reading to self, listening to reading, word work and grammar, responding to reading and using technology to build reading strategies.
Writer's Workshop: This week students will write a narrative about a food they like to enjoy during the fall season. They will focus on descriptive language and the use of adjectives to add spice to their writing.
Social Studies: This week, students will continue with Week 7 in our Studies Weekly curriculum. This week we will learn how to think like a geographer.
Science: We will continue working in our first unit of study for Science, which is Balancing Forces.
P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Monday and Thursday for P.E/dance class every week.
