Wow! We are really into the swing of things now that we completed our first full week of school! I look forward to seeing you at Back to School Night on Wednesday, October 3rd at 7pm.
Math- We are currently working on our Place Value unit. This week, we made our thousands books, learned new math games to play, and started working on Xtra Math, Prodigy, and Freckle on the Chromebooks! If your child wants to practice these at home, the log in information is on our Math Google Classroom. Next week, we will kick off guided math groups.
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 had the same word study words for our first cycle. Students did activities to practice their words all week and took their first Word Study test today.
Writing- This week, we immersed ourselves in the Personal Narrative Genre! A Personal Narrative is a small moment story about something that really happened to the author. Ask your child about how they used an activity list to learn about Personal Narratives.
We will start our first Social Studies unit about Colonial America on Monday.
