Math- We are currently working on our Place Value unit. This week, we made our thousands books, learned new math games to play with our books, and started working on Front Row on the Chromebooks! Next week, we will kick off guided math, as discussed at Back to School Night.
Reading- We are currently reading Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. In addition to our whole class novel, we started Word Study this week. The whole class has the same word study words for our first cycle. Students have been doing activities to practice their words and will be tested on them on Friday, 10/6.
Writing- This week, we started trying out different Personal Narrative ideas. Ask your child this weekend which idea they might choose to continue with to plan, draft, and publish!
Science- We are currently learning about ecosystems! This week, we learned about biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) things. Ask your child to point out some biotic and abiotic things around your home!
Homework- The class did a good job on their first week of the Homework Choice Boards! Please check your child's binder to see if there is anything that they were missing. Students have until Monday to hand in anything or return their boards with parent signatures.
