Good morning!
Important upcoming dates:
Friday, October 11 is a half day (11:45 dismissal)
Thursday, October 18 is Picture Day! 🙂
This week, we are finishing up Module 1. The end of module assessment will be next Monday or Tuesday, and will cover all of Module 1’s concepts including rounding, writing numbers in word form, expanded form, and standard form, as well as using the standard algorithm to add and subtract big numbers within word problems. We will be reviewing Wednesday/Thursday/Friday this week. (We would be ready for the test Friday, but since it is a half day, I decided to wait until Monday this time.)
Your students should have brought home a map of the Midwest region last night. This is their study tool for spelling this week. Their job is to spell all 12 states in the Midwest correctly, as well as being able to label each state in its correct location.
Reading groups are off to a good start. We are working on inferencing skills. This is something we will continue to work on throughout the year.
Finally, we have our science DTE presentation on Thursday! Your student will be bringing home a DTE Think Energy Kit, unless you opted out of the program. The kit will come with a survey for you to fill out and return as soon as possible.
Have a great week!
