This week may have only been 4 days long, but we sure packed a lot into those days! The children did a great job this week.
This week in Language Arts, we will be finishing up Module 2, Week 1. We will have our test on the story Dear Primo on Tuesday. We will then begin Module 2, Week 2, which will have us exploring the world of poetry! This will certainly be an adventure. Our grammar skill will continue to be subject-verb and pronoun-verb agreement.
In math, we will be continuing addition. We will work on word problems on Monday and Tuesday as well as reinforcing our addition with regrouping skills. On Wednesday, we will have a test on addition. Students should be able to add 3-digit numbers with and without regrouping, as well as use rounding to estimate a sum. We will then jump into subtraction!
In religion, we will be continuing Chapter 4. We will learn that the Church began on Pentecost and that the early Church then began to grow. We will take Wednesday to review Chapter 4, and our Chapter 4 test will be on Thursday.
We have officially started Social Studies! We covered Unit 1, Lesson 1 and the map skill (cardinal and intermediate directions) this past week. We will continue with Unit 1, Lesson 2 this week. We will learn about the different types of communities and explore some examples of suburban, urban and rural communities.
A few notes...
Please see Mrs. Major's letter dated Friday, October 15 for important information regarding the Swift K-12 alert system.
Halloween will be celebrated in the classroom this year. As per Mrs. Major's letter, the children may dress down on October 29. We will not be doing costumes or a parade this year in interest of keeping everyone safe and healthy, but be assured we will have plenty of fun things to do in the classroom!
There is no school Friday, October 22, for a teacher in-service.
If possible, please send 2-3 dry erase markers to school with your child. I had enough to get us started for the year, but we are running low and the children use these with their individual dry-erase boards in class. If you have already done this, thank you!
