We had an AWESOME first week back to school!
FYI ... We are currently switching our emailing system. I would normally email all families by now with updates and information about our class. Thank you for your patience!!!!!!!!!
This week in class...
Math - We are beginning chapter 1 in GoMath! We will be working with place value, rounding, standard/expanded/word form. There will be our first mid-chapter quiz on Friday!
Reading - We are currently doing a Chris Van Allsburg author study. He wrote books such as Jumanji and The Polar Express. Finding "theme" in the books we read will be a big part of our focus this year.
Writing - We are setting up our writer's notebooks and fostering our love of writing this week! Please send in 10 pictures form summer to help fuel our writing!
Spelling - This week we are practicing our spelling procedures in class. We will be using the program "Words Their Way" in our class. Spelling will begin next week.
Social Studies - We will spend first quarter learning about maps and globes and how to use them.
Homework...
Students have received their first reading log. It is due September 1st. Students will also begin receiving a page of math practice on most nights. All assignments must be turned in for students to be eligible for Homework Club.
Book Check-Out in the Classroom...
Students are able to check out books from our classroom. I have developed a sign-out and students who want to borrow books must agree to the following:
*Take care of the books
*Bring it back the next day
*Replace it if ruined or lost
I will email parents when books are checked out from me.
