We will be working very hard this week. In addition to our subject area learning we will continue to practice classroom routines, and work on being active listeners. As always I will stress putting forth our best effort during the day.
This week...
Reader's Workshop
We will continue to work on routines while we build our stamina for reading. We are discussing what we can do to build our reading lives, and how we know that a book is just right for us.
Writer's Workshop
Our first unit in writing is a personal narrative unit. This week we will work on gathering ideas, and writing off of our brainstormed lists. We will discuss how to write small moments that are full of detail.
Math
This week we will continue to review place value. We will work on number lines, comparing numbers, and ordering numbers. Please be on the lookout for some important information regarding addition and subtraction fact practice, as well as, a preliminary assessment of your child's fact retention.
Social Studies
We are learning about reading maps and globes. This week we will begin to use atlases and map grids to locate specific places on a map.
Spelling
On Friday your child will bring home his/her first spelling list. This list will be 5 words that your child does not know how to spell (all of the words were pretested). Each list is individualized to meet the needs of your child. Please practice the words, and writing the words in a sentence (a good rule for sentences is at least 6 word). The spelling quiz will be given on Thursday, September 28th.
Word Work
The students are reviewing nouns and verbs. We also be working on writing complete sentences, and the different type of sentences this week. Finally, we are learning about the dictionary, and how to find words.
