Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend!
Here's what is happening this week:
Writing: The students have been gathering possible realistic fiction stories. This week they will choose a story idea to begin developing. We will also work on developing realistic and complex characters.
Reading: This week the students will continue building their reading stamina. Our class is at 25 minutes of continuous reading. We will also continue to focus on choosing 'just-right' books and sticking with those books. I will also start meeting with reading groups this week!
Word Study: We will practice the routine of word study using our classmates' names as spelling words. They will not be tested on these words, however. The students will get their real spelling words next Monday.
Science: Our first lessons will cover animal adaptations and ecosystems. The students will learn about different animal ecosystems, how animals interact in an ecosystem, and how food chains work.
Math: This week we will begin our first math chapter. This chapter reviews place value and rounding. The students will also work on various math stations, while I meet with groups.
Important Reminders:
9/3 - Curriculum Night
9/7 - No school
