Class News for the Week of September 4, 2017

Welcome back to the second week of school. I hope everyone enjoyed the long holiday weekend. We will have a very busy week ahead. 

Reading – This week I will continue to gather more information on each child’s reading ability. This information will be used to set up reading groups so I can meet student needs.

Writing – We will be working on using capital letters and punctuation when writing.

Math – I will be introducing small groups to the students. We will discuss our routine and expectations on how groups should run smoothly and properly within our classroom. During this time, we will also focus our attention on addition. You will be seeing math worksheets coming home, but your child will not have math worksheets for homework at this time. Please practice the addition flashcards each evening with your child.

Science – We will continue working on the solar system. This week’s focus will be on the sun. We will be completing an experiment outside. We will explore what happens to a crayon when placed in direct sunlight.

Reminders 

Students will be going outside for recess daily (weather permitting). Please be sure that your child is dressed appropriately.

Book orders due on Friday, September 8^th.
