We have a class full of fantastic boys and girls! They are friendly, respectful, and eager to learn!
Math: We continue to study place value and rounding, adding with exchanging and reading word problems. Language Arts: We read Freckle Juice and found explicit information in that chapter book as a whole group and on our own. Science: We will begin our solar system study this week. The children will choose a planet to research. This work will take place in the classroom during science time. Their research will count as a science grade! Social Studies: We completed our 1st lesson about communities. Each child answered 5 questions having to do with the lesson. Each Monday we will introduce our next SS lesson. The questions for each lesson are due by Friday. The children work on this in class. Writing: We finished our first writing piece about summer vacation. This week we will begin work on a written piece about responsibility. Work cycle: We have time for 2 smaller work cycles during our day. This is the time the children work independently with materials from the shelves. Each child will be able to follow their work plan to complete their weekly work.
New academic additions to our day: I’m pleased to introduce 2 new academic activities that I am sure your child will be excited about. Xtramath: this is a math fact practice website. Each child will be given their own PIN # and be able to practice math facts, in the classroom, daily. I will send information home once we get it running in class. RazKids: this is an online reading activity where the children can choose a book on their level, listen to the story, record themselves, and take an online quiz to see how well they comprehended the story. They will be able to work on this in class.
A few reminders please…
