A Week At A Glance
Here is what's coming up...
Midterm grades were sent home Friday. Please review your child's grades, sign and return the bottom part of the report.
Looking forward to seeing you this week at parent teacher conferences.
We had a great afternoon on Friday seeing The Boxcar Children. Thank you to the Simes family for the popcorn, and Strassers for the Tootsie Pops:)
Please make sure your child wears their gym shoes to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays,or keep and pair at school.
Reading- We are continuing our reading program with guided reading groups along with independent reading, writing in our reading logs, and reading on Epic. We added IXL which is a comprehensive program that helps students work on reading, and grammar skills. Students will be evaluated on their oral reading fluency every other week during our one minute reads.
Math- We started Chapter 2 in our math series. We are currently working on how multiplication and division are related to each other. We made flashcards this week, and they will be sent home every Tuesday and Thursday for practice. Please send flashcards back the next school day.
Science- We started our unit on plant and animal traits. Also on Fridays we have a "Weird Science" time where we learn about some really interesting Science trivia.
Social Studies- Mapping, geography and USA symbols
Morphology- We are reviewing known spelling patterns, sounds and making words.
Writing- Narrative writing in our journals and studying the difference between opinions and facts. We did some Squiggle writing that the students enjoyed. We have some very creative kids!
Grammar- Nouns, verbs, capitalization and punctuation
Thank you to everyone who has donated to our classroom wish list! I have adjusted the list accordingly. We have everything we need! If things change, I will let you know.
Much appreciated!
