Hey Everyone,
September is at an end. Hard to believe that we have been in school for a full month and have covered so much. Here is a run down of what we will be looking at this week:
Reading: We have started our Imagine It book. The series covers a lot of reading, writing, vocabulary and spelling. We have 150 minutes to cover the material so please remind your child that focus is essential for understanding and coverage. Our story this week will be from "Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell.
Our theme is "Risk and Consequence" and how it can be positive or negative.
Math: Our math is covering multiplication. We have starting with Strategies for multiplying and will lead into multiplying 2 digit by 1 digit numbers. We will also review our estimation with multiplication and how it helps with solving the problems.
Writing: Our writing menu is up and running for the 1st quarter. The menu is a great way for students to take responsibility for their work as well as their writing. The due date is October 28th so please do not procrastonate till the last minute. Late work will not be accepted.
Science: Our class has started working in our Science Notebook. This is a great way for students to journal science concepts and illustrate to better understanding. The Science Notebook should not have any pages torn out. It is for student journaling only.
