Math
We had our first math test over Chapter 1 this week. We introduced Chapter 2 (Adding to 1,000) today and are diving into Addition with and without regrouping next week!
**Please remember that your children are to be doing a session of Xtra Math three times per week at home to grow in their math fact knowledge and skills. If you can't find their PIN #, send me an email and I'll give it to you again. All the info is in the black folder from Back to School Night.**
Science
Our focus is still insects and *hopefully* by next week we will have some new crawling friends in our classroom to observe. ;)
Writing
We are working on studying and writing personal narratives this week. Most of our 2K students are on to revising and editing their pieces!
Reading
The strategy we are continuing to focus on next week is creating images and visualizing while we read. We will also be reviewing making connections while we read.
We introduced the third part of The Daily Five in our classroom: WORD WORK. So far students have learned about Read to Self, Listen to Reading, Buddy Reading, and now Word Work. Work Work is a fun way to practice our vocab, spelling, and sight words.
**Please remember your child will be coming home with a book in a bag on Monday and that's to be returned on Thursday for their AR test.**
IMPORTANT INFO:
- Today progress reports and STAR bench-marking test results are coming home! I'm so proud of your children and all the progress they've made so far. Please keep the white copy of the progress report, and sign and return the colored copy to school on Monday. The STAR results do NOT need to be signed and brought back.
- If you have not turned in field trip money yet ($11- cash or check), please send that in as soon as possible so we can get it submitted and finalize our trips. :)
- If you'd like to be a Mystery Reader in our classroom this year (this takes place on Fridays), send me an email and I'll give you available dates to choose from!
