Reading

This week A Fine Fine School. We worked on multiple meaning words, story structure-character, setting, plot, and short vowels.  Next week due to our field trip, we will be having our spelling and vocabulary test on THURSDAY, Sept. 13.  

Writing

We have be working on various pieces to put in portfolios.  

Social Science

We are still working on Chapter 1-Living Things.  We worked on our vocabulary booklet.

Math

We are working on odd and even numbers and number patterns.  We are also working on rounding and estimating to nearest 10 and 100.  Please practice this at home. I have also noticed there are a few students that  don’t know their basic math facts to 18. Please practice those also. The

thinkcentral website is a good place to go for extra practice.  Everyone said they had used it before, but I also went through it with them again.  Excellent fun resource.

Miscellaneous

The field trip is next Friday, Sept. 14.  Please send your child with tennis shoes on, a jacket, and sack lunch.  Since we will be gone Friday morning, we will have our spelling test and reading tests on Thursday next week.  After that we will be back to a normal schedule. Book orders are due Sept. 11. Grandparent Day will be October 19.  Time is yet to be determined. We had a blast bobbing for apples.
