Class News for the Week of November 6, 2017

This Week's Focus

Reading – This week we will be starting our new story, A Walk in the Desert. We will be focusing on main idea and details. We will not have a reading assessment this week.

Writing – We are working on writing narratives. Please have your child write stories at home. Please encourage them to have the following things when writing sentences: capital letters, punctuation, and ask “Does my sentence make sense?”

Math – We will be having a math assessment on Wednesday. I changed this date from last Friday to this Wednesday due to needing more time to review with the students. Please continue to practice the addition flashcards each evening.

Science – This week we will be starting a new science unit. The focus of this unit will be on weather.

Reminders

The children go outside for recess each day. Please be sure that your child has a coat, gloves, scarf, and a hat.

Please be mindful of our policy here at NSE- if your child misses 4 homework assignment in one month, there will be consequences.

Also, students are required to bring their HORSE folder to school each day. Please check your child’s backpack each day to be sure it is returned. Thank you!
