Homework for the week

Our Days in Pictures

First 6 days of school

August 28-September 1

Good evening!!!  I have had a blast getting to know my boys in my class.  This is going to be a great year!!  Below you will find information about the upcoming week.

Math:  We will review in small group place value and we will also be looking at rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and to the nearest 100.

Reading:  We are setting up the procedures for our guided reading.  I am doing some initial assessments on the boys to be sure I am reaching each one where they are at right now.  Please make sure that your child is reading each night for 30 minutes.  Also don't forget to sign their planners on Thursday night stating that he has read each night.

Language/Spelling:  On Friday, we will be having our first language assessment.  We have been working on the prefixes re- and pre-.  We are also working on make nouns plural by adding -s.

Writing:  We are beginning to work on the writing process.

Social Studies:  We are working on the SC Regions.  The boys have labeled a map with the regions and now they are learning more information about each individual region.

Important Reminders...
1.  Coupon Books are orders/books are due by August 30th.
2.  Don't forget to turn in your Goodies with Grandparents invitations.
3.  The first payment ($40.50) for the field trip is due on Friday.  You do not HAVE to pay anything this week but you can if you would like to break it up.  If you are wanting to go on the field trip as a chaperone and you have not let me know specifically that you would like to go to Charleston, please email me or send me a note this week.
