LANGUAGE ARTS: Next week, students will continue learning about using context clues from a text to determine what a word means.

In Fundations, we will continue working on Unit 2 of Fundations where we learn more about Vowel-Consonant-e (v-e) Syllables.

MATH: Students will continue learning about the parts of a fraction and how to find equivalent fractions. As we continue this new unit please remember it is crucial students know their multiplication facts. We are practicing these in class, and it would be beneficial for students to practice their multiplication facts at home each night. 

SCIENCE: Students will continue with their first science unit on Animal Adaptations.

SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING: Our Core Value for the month of September is Respect, so we will also focus on this topic during our Morning Meetings. We also just finished up focusing on Respect for 2 weeks in our new social-emotional program we are using called Character Strong.  We have spent 2 weeks focusing on kindness, as well as 2 weeks where we focused on respect.
