Academics
We are busy at work! Students will begin working with Spelling words next week to go along with our Treasures series. Look for your student to bring their words home on Tuesday. Our first Spelling test will be Friday.
This week we took a Reading Placement test. This helps me judge what your child learned last year and where we need to start our learning this year. I also use these results to see if your child could benefit from outside Reading help. We will begin working in our Treasures reading series next week and will be focusing on main ideas, inferences, and problem/solutions.
Current Events begin next week. I know students are anxious to find news articles and work on their presentations. Hopefully your child has shared the rubric, expectations and due date with you. If not, please ask them!
In Math we are continuing our study of Place Value. We made place value bookmarks this week, practiced reading larger numbers, and next week we will look at rounding.
Curriculum Night
I look forward to meeting you all in person on Thursday night. I have an information packet that will be sent home with you, or with your child on Friday if you are unable to attend.
Friday Folders
Today your child has a white weekly folder with a portion of their work from this year. Each Friday these will come home. Please look through this with your child weekly. Make it a point to save any work that can be used as a study guide for a test, and go over any work where your child may have missed a concept. Return the empty envelope to school with your child each Monday. Occasionally there will be a stamp on work that needs returned to school with the folder. These will be marked " PORTFOLIO PAPER - PLEASE RETURN." Thanks for your help with this.
Have a lovely Labor Day weekend!
Mrs. Smith
