Last week was a great week! Students are catching on to the new math lesson and doing well learing strategies to solve their problems. I finished DRA testing on Friday and will be emailing parents this week about what level your student is currently reading on. I was very happy with their progress.
This week.... Math- We will continue to wrap up Lesson 3 and we will spend Thursday and Friday reviewing for our math assessment. The math test will be taken over 2 days and will take place on Monday Oct 2 and Tuesday Oct 3. Spelling- New spelling lists were put in students boxes on Friday and should've been brought home. We are now on Unit 4 and they are doing a great job mastering their lists. Social Studies- Students have been working hard all last week researching their Native American tribe with their partner. This week they will work on their presentation and then create their tribe artifact. I will be meeting with them on Monday about what they are planning to make the materials they need. I have encouraged them to pick an artifcat that doesn't require them to purchase any supplies. After all, the Native Americans couldn't go to the store they had to find all their supplies on the land. Leader in Me- This week we will contine to study Habit 2- Begin with the end in mind. Last week, I showed the class a video from the Leader in Me program about leaving a legacy. I then posed the question to them, "How to you want students and staff to remember you when you go to the Intermediate School next year?" They made graphics of those words they wanted people to think about them and I put them into this video. This video will be displayed in the front hall for the week and I think the students will really take pride in sharing their project. Reading- We will start reading groups this week and students will be grouped with other students that share their same reading level. Tiger Pride- We will have our first Tiger Pride assembly this Friday Sept 29 at 2:30PM. Parents and family members are always welcome to attend. Our assemblies will look a little different this year as we take a Leader in Me approach. Just a heads up that I will be gone on Monday October 2 for meetings at District Office. I will notify the kids as it gets closer but I know they will do great with a sub. They are a great group of kids! It's going to be a FULL week!
