The Week Ahead

I can't believe we are already starting our fourth week of school!!!  This week will be a busy but exciting week.  Don't forget that Goodies with Grandparents is on Wednesday at 7:00.  I can't wait to meet all of the wonderful grandparents that will be attending.  Also, I will be sending signed papers home again on Tuesday.  This will allow you to see all of the graded work so far.  Normally, papers will come home every two weeks but I wanted you all to be able to see these first graded papers as soon as possible.  Below you will find a quick glimpse of the week ahead.

 

Math
We will continue learning about place value in math.  We will be looking at how place value can help us add and subtract either 10 or 100 mentally.
Reading
In reading, we will continue to study the works of Cynthia Rylant.  We will be reading Poppleton and Mr. Putter and Tabby.  We will be looking at the beginning, middle, and ending of a story and how a character develops throughout the story. 
Social Studies
In Social Studies, we will be looking at how to read a map.  The students are also looking at where they are located on a map.
Spelling
We are still working on short vowel sounds in spelling.  You should have received your child's spelling list on Friday.
Writing
In writing, we are continuing to look at staying on topic when we are writing.
Science
The scientific method continues to be our focus in science.  We are planning to put that process into practice with some exciting experiments this week.



I am looking forward to a great week!!
