Homecoming Assembly and Other Things from Week 3

The third week of school is officially over!  Seems like time is flying, especially because we have been learning so much.  Including:

• Math:  Using doubles (ex. 4+4) to help us with addition and subtraction, adding a chain equation, and using 10 pairs (ex. 8+2).  We started word problems on Thursday and will continue to work on different types for the next week or two.
• Social Studies: Communities - comparing and contrasting rural, suburban, and urban communities.
• Writing:  Narrowing down story ideas, choosing one, and planning small moment stories.
• Reading:  Staying in a book, reading smoothly, and identifying the problem and solution in a story.

On Friday we got to cheer on the football team in an assembly with the superfans, cheerleaders, band members, the eagle, and a few football players.  It was a blast.

Our new spelling words this week are:  will, each, about, how, and, up.  We will be talking about them all week and practicing them, but feel free to practice spelling them at home as well.  

Word problem homework went home on Friday in your child's purple homework folder.  Please have your child do both sides.  Homework is due on Friday, but it can come back anytime before if you finish early.  

I am proud of how much growth I have seen already in our class!  We are working hard and it shows.
