Hello Families,
Thanks to everyone who attended Back To School Night! It was great meeting you all!
Here is a brief look ahead:
Math: We have started Unit 2 - Addition and Subtraction Number Stories. In this unit we will practice facts, gain a better understanding of the clue words in word problems, and put into practice the skills needed to work through word problems. Keep practicing the Rocket Math Fact sheets 5 minutes every night. Thanks!
Language Arts: The first Reading test on The Mixed Up Chameleon will be this Friday. We will have our Spelling test on this day as well. -id, -ide are the phonograms for the week. The reading strategy is main idea and details. This is connecting to our writing - topic sentence and supporting details. We are also practicing sentences - recognizing complete sentences (Naming part, telling part, capital and end mark) and building them.
Located under the web links on this page is the cool site - Spelling City. Your child can use the games and practice tests on this site by following these steps:
a) Click on the Link
b) Click on my name
c) Choose the Reading story for the week
That's it! They can then play games and practice!
Science / Social Studies: We have begun our first unit in Science - Living and Non Living Things. We classified living and non living things on a walk outside. You can reinforce this classification by finding living and non living things on your travels with your children - or even at home! We are continuing our study of communities this week looking at Cities, and next week we will look at what makes a Suburb.
Important Dates:
Friday, October 2nd - Grandparents Day - 11:30 - 12:45. We look forward to seeing our Grandparents!
Thursday, October 8 - Big Fire Drill - Fire Prevention Week
Monday, October 12 - Columbus Day - School Closed!
Have a great week!
Mrs. Scull
