Language Arts This week we will be doing an opinion writing activity on a
book from their summer reading. We are learning how to do our weekly writing journal entry.
We will discuss why writing is important and why we should practice it each day as we learn our
work on writing routines. We have a class of readers. The boys and girls did a
great job as we learned about our read to self time last week.
Mathematics: The boys and girls
were eager to see their Math Workbook. The students will be tearing the sheets
out of this book. I will check their work and send the sheets home as we
complete them. Please check your child’s bag nightly. This week we will
continue to practice our place value skills. You can help your children by
having them explain how they solved a problem. If they made a mistake see if
they can see what they did and
help them revise their thinking. They may realize they were being
careless and just made a mistake. Then you can remind them this is why it is
important to take your time and check your work.
•Science: We will begin by reviewing the
animal classifications. Then we will focus on amphibians specifically frogs and
toads.
•Social Studies: We read our first
Scholastic News Magazine of the year. The focus was on being a good citizen.
Constitution Day is Thursday, September 17th. We will talk about
it and compare it to our class constitution (norms).
