Hello! We had an amazing first couple of days! This is a great group of kiddos and I'm looking forward to a great year!
I will update the blog each week with the Weekly Happenings. The Weekly Happenings will update you on what the students are working on in class, test dates, and other upcoming, important dates. I will also update the blog throughout the week with pictures!
Here is what's happening this week:
Writing: The students will be decorating their writer's notebooks! I assign 10 minutes of writing homework most nights. They can write about anything they want in their notebooks! If your child forgets their notebook at school, they should still write on whatever paper is available. We will also start our first writing unit this week! They will be writing realistic fiction stories!
Reading: We are working on building reading stamina! I can tell we have a room of passionate readers! We will also start our first reading unit. The students will be working on interpreting characters and determining theme during this unit! Please make sure your child is reading each night. This is crucial to their reading success!
Science: We will use this time time to get to know each other better, build our classroom management, and get our Leadership Binders in order! Next week, we will begin learning about ecosystems!
Math: We are working on getting each child set up in ALEKS (the online math program). We are also practicing the expectations for our math workshop. The students will be in stations while the teachers pull groups based on their level.
Important Dates:
8.29 LEAP begins
9.2 Bus Driver’s Day
Please let me know if you have any questions! Have a great week!
