Week of August 22nd, 2016

This week in class... 

Math- We are taking a beginning of the year assessment so I know where your student is with math concepts. We will begin chapter 1 of GoMath! which will cover addition, subtraction, and rounding. ***Work that is not completed during the day will be sent home for homework and will be due the following morning. 

Writing- We will begin our interactive notebooks (Please send 2 composition notebooks to school) learning about the different parts of speech. We will be working with nouns. 

Reading- We will begin our author study of Kevin Henkes. We will be working on setting, character traits, plots, and making connections to ourselves. 

Science- We are setting up our science notebooks. We will be learning about weather and the seasons this year! 

Classroom Supplies: 
It is very helpful for each child to have 3 plastic folders. That way, each student can organize his or her reading, writing/spelling, and social studies work in their desks. 

Also, it is important that each student has 2 composition notebooks. we will be doing hands on activities to support our learning in both notebooks. We will be using them this week! :)
