This Week's Update

We have another week of learning under our belts!  Here's what your child accomplished this week:
  • Math: As promised, we worked on those tricky 2-step word problems.  We also reviewed other types of word problems, and are ready for our unit 1 test on Monday. We will start a new unit on Tuesday. 
  • Social Studies: We finished up our map unit.  As our assessment for this unit, students drew a map of their own town and included both physical and human features represented on a map key and their own compass rose.  Our unit on Government will be starting this week.
  • Writing:  Students are moving right along with our rough draft for our small moment stories.  We will be editing our stories this week.
  • Reading:  Students worked on preparing to read with partners.  They used post-it notes to mark pages during their read-to-self time so that they could share the marked pages during partner reading time.  
Spelling words:  into, has, more, her, two

Homework:  A review on word problems went home for homework this week.  Please be sure your child does both sides.  Homework should be turned in Friday or earlier in the purple homework folder. 

Book It!: Don't forget to keep filling in those October charts.  Reading 20 minutes a day and turning in the chart at the end of the month will earn your reader a personal pizza certificate.  

I am grateful for every day I get to spend in our classroom.  Thank you for sharing your child with our class!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
