What We Have Been Doing:
Literacy: We learned about classroom expectations last week in literacy. The students took a spelling assessment so that they have level appropriate spelling words. This week we will begin spelling and reading groups.
Math: We finished our project on sink and float last week. This week the students will be assessed on their concepts of math. The students will measure objects using their hands, feet and other body parts. We will talk about measurement and why it is an important concept. Some students will work in the magnet center. We will continue to improve student's number sense.
Theme: Please read the theme homework for this week. Students will need some help with their family crest project. If your child goes home in the morning, they may complete this project if they would like. Their homeroom grade will reflect their work. The project is due on Monday, October 29.
We are finishing up our unit on Family, The Five Senses and Feelings. We will begin our Human Body unit later this week.
Conferences: Parent-teacher conferences will be here soon. Please fill out the blue form in Monday folders so that we can schedule your conference at your convenience. Conferences will be from Wednesday, October 1st through Friday, October 3rd.
Book Orders: Book Orders are due on Monday, September 22. Please order online or send the order form to school with your child.
Extra Change of Clothes: The weather is getting a little colder. If you did not put a long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt in your child's extra change of clothes, it would be helpful for us to have one.
Specials: Next week we will begin a new rotation in specials. We will have PE and computers. Please make sure your child has tennis shoes either on, or you can send an extra pair with them to school.
Have a great week!
Thank you!
