Weekly Update: Sept. 29-Oct. 3rd

I can't wait to get back to class tomorrow!  I missed my kiddos!!  They were so good for the substitute!! She was so impressed with their behavior!

I learned so much at my training and I can't wait to incorporate the strategies into my classroom!

Reading/Science: 

Over the next two weeks we will be learning about the Earth, Moon, Sun, and Stars. We will use our guided reading books and other resources in order to master Science and ELA standards.

-This week your child will be completing reading stations at their own pace.  Once they've completed their journal, RAZ Kids, and practiced Letterland words through Spelling City, they will have the opportunity to complete a Webquest on the Earth, Moon, Sun, and Stars!  

Math:

This week we will continue adding numbers.  We will focus on counting on.  Put the greater number in your head and then count on.

-Your child will begin working through math quests in order to show understanding and mastery of math concepts.  Each student will work at his/her own pace through the different tasks in each quest.  I gave a pretest last week, and each student was awarded experience points based on the score.  Experience points can be used toward a task they feel they have already mastered.

*Don't forget about our fundraiser!!
