Hello everyone,
I hope that all of you had a great weekend.
I am please to announce that we have had a fantastic start to our 2010/2011 School year. The kids are working hard and are showing their Gibson PRIDE!!!!! Awesome Job, guys!
Here is a quick look at what we will be working on this week:
Math: Finding the Place and Value of numbers, comparing numbers and putting them in order. We are also going to be working on Rounding/Estimating. This is a hard concept for some students so we will be practicing A LOT.
Reading: Since we still have not received the Imagine It reading series for our classes, we are working on "The Twits" by Roald Dahl. The students really enjoy reading this because it has funny plots and twist to the story. We will hopefully have this chapter title finished by the end of the week.
Social Studies: Our social studies is focusing on the 3 regions of North Carolina. We are also looking at the geography of NC and how it's different from where we live.
The spelling list for this week will focus on using -ed and -ing suffixes. We will also discuss root words and the changes that have to be made for them to make sense.
LIVED, LIVING, RATTLED, RATTLING, STUDIED, STUDYING, TRAVELED, TRAVELING, CHANGED, CHANGING, APPEARED, APPEARING, RACED, RACING, HOPED, HOPING, WRAPPED & WRAPPING.
AR is up and running so please encourage your child to READ, READ, READ!
