We had our first full week of school and it was a success!! Students are starting to adjust to our class routine and we are falling into our new normal.
This week: Math: We will continue with place value and look at rounding to a specific place value. Students have been working hard on our math lessons and we will be taking their first assessment over the first four lessons this Thursday. We will have a review day on Wednesday to help them prepare. Social Studies: We are going to begin our map unit this week. We will start with basic map skills, how to read a map, and how to construct a map. Then after Labor Day we will move in to studying the Missouri Regions and our state map. Writing: We are going to look at writing using our 5 senses this week. We will look at some books to help us identify their use descriptive words and then use those describing words in our writing. Reading: We have been working on building up our reading stamina in the classroom. Students have literally been begging for read to self time and I love that. They will end up having about 30 minutes a day for read to self time in our classroom. This week we are going to start looking at responding to our reading with writing. This will be a skill we work on throughout the year. Leader In Me: We spent last week looking at key components of belonging. This week we are going to start talking about the paradigms we have and our class mission statement. Spelling: This week we will start our spelling unit. Students will get a new list every week. Spelling tests will be given on Friday. If students do not get 80% of the words correct or better they will retake their test on Monday morning. Important Dates: August 31 and September 3 - No School for Labor Day weekend September 21 - Half Day attendance September 27 - Leader In Me Night at Willard East - more info to come
