Week of September 11th-15th
Welcome Back to School!! I am so happy to have many of the same students in my classroom, as well as many new students as well! So far we are off to a great start!
Reminders for the week:
Open House–Thursday 6:00-7:30 Hope to see you there!!
We will be starting some of the NWEA testing this week.
We are learning:
Spelling–This year for spelling we will be having spelling words that contain a certain spelling pattern (like last year), but we will also have a few words that we are adding to help improve our vocabulary skills. We will discuss what the words mean and how they are used, so it is important for your child to know the meaning as well as the spelling.
We will also be doing “Word of the Week.” Our word this week is duration. We discussed the meaning and used it in a sentence. I am looking for students to use this word in their writing and speaking.
Writer’s Workshop–We will begin writing a narrative paragraph about ourselves. Students will use the writing process do complete this piece.
Daily5/Cafe–Our focus this week is Problem and Solution. Students will be identify the problem in various genres and will describe the events that led up to the solution. We are also reviewing some of the CAFE strategies as well.
Social Studies–We will be studying the United States this year, so we are beginning with it’s location within the world–hemisphere, continent etc. We will be using the compass rose to determine relative location.
Have a sunny week!
