Our first full week went well! The kids had a math and writing assessment to do this week. They worked really hard. I am so proud of them!
In writing we are going to be working on narrative pieces. The kids are going to take small moments from their lives and tell us that story through their writing. We are going to focus on adding good details to bring their stories alive for the readers, creating great beginnings and endings for their stories, and they are going to assess their own writing to come up with their own goals for their growth as writers. I am so excited to see how far their writing grows after this quarter.
Below are the skills the kids will be working on in math during this first unit.
Spelling-With changes in curriculum, the kids will not get a weekly class spelling list. We will be doing phonics lessons and sight words at each individual child's level. There will not be a weekly spelling test.
Upcoming Events:
Sept. 2- No School -Labor Day
Sept. 20- 12:40 Dismiss
Sept. 27- Tiger Pride
Sept. 30- Open House
Oct. 1- Individual Pictures
