Hello Families,
We have just finished up a week of review in Language Arts and subtraction fact power in Math. The students took their Theme 1 Post test and I am so proud of the growth that I see! Keep reading!!! It is opening a wonderful world of learning for your children! I will be sending home the tests for your review on Monday, please sign and return on Tuesday. I will be holding these tests in their portfolio throughout the year. Students have also completed another story for their portfolios. This time with a Halloween theme.
Just a side note: Please encourage your children to CHECK their work before handing it in....many are skipping problems. Thank you for that needed support at home! Also, please remind them to put their name of their papers. Beginning next marking period 10 points will be taken off papers with no name. Hopefully by all of us reminding, reminding, reminding it will help! Thanks!
Our student of the week this week was Joshua Foster. Josh loves nachos and cheese and legos. Sounds like a party to me! Good job Josh!
Next week we will be back on a normal Reading / Language Arts schedule. Our story is "The Enormous Turnip". We are looking at teamwork in this theme, and in this story our narrative element is sequencing events and summarizing them. Our phonograms this week are -ack and -ock. Look for these patterns in the Spelling words as well.
We will be reviewing for the Unit 2 Math Test on Monday and will have the test on Tuesday. Please be sure to continue to practice those triangles - the entire fact family should be memorized.
On Wednesday we will be Cleaning our Community along with First Grade. Please have your child wear old clothes. We will be cleaning up our school yard in the morning and then getting ready for our Halloween party and parade in the afternoon. Please send your child's costume in a bag. The party will begin at 2:00!!! Thanks!!!!
Have a Wonderful Fall Weekend!
Mrs. Scull
