Happy Labor Day! I hope everyone enjoyed the 3 day weekend! Though we only have a 4 day week, we have lots of great activities planned.
Here is just a preview of what's coming up this week...
1) We will begin creating glogs to teach about the 5 U.S. regions in social studies.
2) We will also have a "quiz" over capitalization where the kids have to write me a letter demonstrating their ability to apply the capitalization rules and we will begin a competition to see who can use capitalization correctly in their daily writing.
3) Finally, on Friday Mr. Rauh, creative writing teacher at NOHS and dad to one of our students, is bringing his high schoolers to read us picture books they've created!
Upcoming Quizzes and Tests
Be ready to apply those capitalization rules by Thursday!
Prepare for a multiplication mad minute over your 4's on Friday!
Reminders:
Our first field trip will be September 23rd to Riverside Farnsley-Moremen Landing.
What We're Learning This Week
S.S.: The kids will begin researching their assigned U.S. region in pairs and creating glogs to share what they learned.
Math: We will continue to work on all aspects of number theory from divisibility rules to prime and composite numbers to the use of exponents to square numbers.
Word Study: We will continue to practice the capitalization rules.
Writing: This week culminates our study of the 6 traits, but we will continue to collect in writer's notebooks with the intent of using the 6 traits of writing in every seed.
Reading: The metacognition thinking strategies will remain our focus in reading as we learn to attend to our thinking while we read in order to deepen our comprehension.
On a final note, if you happen to be in the building, please stop by and check out our bulletin board courtesy of Mrs. Lossin and Mrs. Purdy. In a word...AMAZING! Many thanks to those creative moms!
