for coming to our Open House, it was wonderful that everyone was able to stop in.
I enjoyed meeting my new students and their parents. I am very excited to begin the new school year.
This week
The children had a chance to get to know each other as we shared some experiences we had over the summer.
The children did a great job taking the spelling inventory and math facts inventory. The inventory will be used to place students to best meet their needs.
We learned the Five Finger Rule for selecting a good fit book and the children had an opportunity to select books.
Next Week
Math - We will be working on building a community and learn how members of a community treat each other. Children will build a beetle glyph, that will help them get familiar with how they will represent information about themselves.
Science - We will begin our unit on nutrition. Children will be introduced to the members of the royal family, who will teach us about the 5 Food Groups.
Reading - We will be working on establishing our Daily Five routine. Children will learn to become coaches when reading with a partner.
Spelling - Children will learn the different sorts for spelling words.
