I hope that you have all enjoyed this long weekend for Labor Day. I know I did. I got to relax, clean my house, read on my Kindle, and have a sleepover with my niece at my house. Good times! I can't wait to hear all about the kids adventures tomorrow during check-in.
Here's the scoop for this week.....
- In Science, we will be wrapping up our unit on Matter. Look for a Study Guide to come home on Tuesday. We will have a quiz on Friday to show what we know. Target kids can either take the quiz on Thursday or Friday morning before they head out to go to Target.
- In Math, we will continue to review odds/evens and learn some more fun games to do with Place Value. Learning a digits place is an important base to the rest of their math career. We will do some work with expanding numbers also.
- In English/Writing/Spelling, we are continuing to introduce new parts of our writing resource journals that will help us throughout the year. We will talk about editing marks and word choices this week specifically. Our spelling pattern for the week is short e words. I introduced the on-line program "Spelling City" last week that they can use at home or on the computers at school to practice their weekly words also.
- In Reading, we are introducing the last of our Literacy Centers. Our reading focus of the week is Sequencing story events.
A special CONGRATULATIONS goes out to our very own, Conner and Katelyn who had fish picked off the 7 Habits Seas to have a special breakfast in The Pirate Cove with Ms. Chesser on Friday. The children can earn special fish to hang on the seas in the classroom and from others around the building when they are caught showing one of the habits at school. Every so many weeks, the fish are collected and Ms. Chesser pulls out two from each grade level and then two from the white fish bag (Specialist awards). All then go into an extra bag and there will be a big drawing at the end of the school year. Next Habits Breakfast is Sept. 16th. Mystery Word: habits
Upcoming Events.....
- Sept. 6th - Stevi B's Pizza Night - Come be served by Ms. Chesser and others.
- Sept. 7th - PICTURE DAY - Bring your smile!
