Things are running smoothly in the classroom. We seem to be getting our routines down and are becoming more comfortable each day. Here's what we did this week:
Writing: Students were introduced to the idea of writing about small moments. We read a book to show us what a small moment story looks like, talked about all the things that are included in a small moment story, and started brainstorming ideas for our own small moment stories.
Social Studies: We started a unit on communities. We talked about features of a community and talked about the ways the government helps communities.
Math: Math mountains have helped students figure out the missing partner in an equation. Odds and evens were introduced on Friday.
Reading: Students have been working on building stamina by setting reading goals and making sure we pick good-fit books.
On Friday, we will be having a pep rally that will include the super fans. Go Eagles!
Homework for this week should have come home on Friday in the purple homework folder. Students are only required to do the page marked "homework." If your child would like to do both sides, he or she may, but it is not required. Please send completed homework back to school in your child's homework folder by Friday.
As you may know, "Be the One" is the theme for this school year. Our class talks everyday about how we can be the one by caring for each other. We are diligently working on caring for our classmates by helping out, taking care of our classroom, and by not talking when we shouldn't. These are the challenges that we will be working on this month. Any encouragement at home would be greatly appreciated!
Looking forward to another great week.
