I hope everyone had a nice, relaxing 3-day weekend! Here is what to expect for the remainder of our short week:
Math- We are on the tail-end of Unit 1 on whole numbers and decimals. Our unit test will be next Wednesday, Sept. 12. Our class is doing a fantastic job practicing the routines of our math workshop! Please remember that your student can practice his/her multiplication facts on the website www.xtramath.org. The login information was included in the packet given out last week for Curriculum Night.
Social Studies- Students are doing a fantastic job presenting their Free Enterprise Projects! We just started today and will continue our presentations throughout the week. We will also start Chapter 2: The First Americans.
Reading- We are continuing to build our stamina and independence with our Daily 5 Read to Self and Work on Writing. We are independently reading for about 25 minutes and writing for 10-15- wow! We are also starting one-on-one conferences during these times. Next week we will start our third "daily"- Word Work.
Please ask your child to explain each of the above pictures. It will be a great review for them and you will learn more about what we are learning in our classroom!
Writing- We are continuing to get ideas for our own writing by reading mentor texts. This week we are getting ideas from pattern books, alphabet books, and poetry.
Special Note to Parents- Thank you so much for attending Curriculum Night! If you were unable to make it, please make sure you received the packet from your student (I sent these home with them last week). Please send in field trip permission slips as soon as possible. We are going to have such a fun year! :)

Enjoy the rest of your week!
