Dates
to Remember
Curriculum Night September
26
No School October 11
Thursday night is Curriculum Night. This is your opportunity to come into the
class and see what we have been doing.
Your child will be your our guide.
They will lead you around the class showing you some of the things that
we are working on. I can’t wait to see
all of you.
Please meet in the auditorium at 6:00 for an all school
meeting with our new principal, Seth Jones.
Math
We are still reviewing time and money. I can see real progress there!
We are also working on larger numbers and what
exactly a 2-digit number means. For
example, 42 can be 42 ones, but it is also 4 tens and 2 ones.
This kind of learning lays the groundwork for
when we do larger addition and subtraction.
Also, word problems are in the works
Writing
This week, we are going to start working on SCAR
stories. We love to tell stories about
our own lives. Our first story is going
to be about a time when we got hurt.
Just in time for Halloween!
We have also started looking at “Mentor Sentences.” These are great sentences that we come across
in our reading that can teach us how to write great sentences. Ask you child what we have worked on so far.
Reading
This past week, we spent
time doing district assessments. This
allows me to gauge the reading level of each student. This week, we will be finishing up these
assessments, and beginning our reading groups.
Your children are still
learning how to pick just right books, and are settling in to reading for a
longer period of time. We call this
stamina. I tell the students, I can go out
and run a marathon in one day. It is the
same with reading longer books.
