Hi Everyone,
This is only our 2nd full week of school, so a lot of us are getting into the swing of a schedule and a routine. As this progresses, please remind your child to focus. We have some day dreamers in our class....it's time to wake up to some learning!
Here is a look at what we will be doing this week:
Reading: Our Imagine It books have arrived, but we are going to finish our chapter book, Frindle. The students seem to be discovering a lot about what kids their age can accomplish when they have determination. Next week we are starting our Imagine It book with all it's fancy bells and whistles.
Math: We are working on creating and reading Line/Bar graphs. The bar graphs seem to be pretty simple for students to understand. Our snag is when we have to organize data and make it into a graph. Setting up our graph is also a problem, so we will continue to work on this to help make it successful.
Writing: We are wrapping up our final copy of the "Picture Day" story. The students are going to have a "gross" illustration to add with their work. We will have these posted, so feel free to come on by and check out their work.
Social Studies: This week we are doing a mini-project in class on NC and it's three regions. Some of the work that students have to do is their responsibility. They must take the initiative to read and discover the information for themselves. This project will end on Wednesday and lead us into our 2nd mini-project, Making a Pamphlet on one of the NC Regions.
No Spelling/Vocab this week. We will start that once the Imagine It books are in use.
Please remember, that late work is not acceptable. If students loose an assignment, they need to be responsible enough to complete it. I will deduct one letter grade for each missing day. If it is never turned in, it is an incomplete and a zero.
Please get all work in on time!!!!
