Now that Open House, Parent Meetings, and Testing have ended, I feel like the school year is officially off to a wonderful start!
Students are now practicing classroom routines and prodedures along with PBIS expectations. Color changes have started, but please know I am not changing colors without warning first. I am fair. I know we all make mistakes. Please trust that in September and October I must be firm with expectations so that we may transition into a smooth year.
Here is a quick explanation of where our classroom is headed.
Spelling – Words will be coming home every Monday. Spelling words should be entered into the planner. Test on Friday.
Daily 5 – We have practiced Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading and some Word Work. Soon we will be starting our literacy groups. During Daily 5 the children are expected to work independently while I am with small groups. I expect integrity.
Math – We are half way through the first Module. This module takes the children through the process of multiplication and division.
Science – After learning all about scientists, we will be diving into Forces and Motion.
Social Studies – The first unit includes learning where Michigan is located, what are its natural and human characteristics. Please allow your child to bring in one can of Play-doh (any color) as we make models of landforms.
Parents are always asking if our classroom needs anything. Currently, we are in need of tissues, candy for the candy jar, small prizes for the prize box and Clorox wipes. I appreciate any help!
Thank you for your support. I am always an email away!
