Good Evening,
Thank you, it was really wonderful to see each of you for parent teacher conferences. I appreciate you taking the time to come in and share more about your student and to hear how they are progressing at school. Together we make a team that will help your child be a successful student all year long! We had an excellent full week! We will be moving through our curriculum with purpose and intent over the next several weeks leading up to Thanksgiving break! A couple of reminders:
Flood Hour: Flood math time focused on manipulating 2 and 3 digit numbers using base ten blocks. Flood literacy focused on discussing our novels/books and wrapping those up. We will begin new groups on Monday both for flood math and flood literacy. Math: We continued on with Unit 2 which finishes up multiplication. We focused on multiplying and dividing with 6s, 7s, and 8s. We also briefly covered square numbers. We will have our first of two quick quizzes on Monday. Literacy: Week 6 in Wonders is always a review week. We took the opportunity this week to focus heavily on writing. Your students were rock stars! They wrote a friendly letter including a first draft, revising, editing, and final copy. On Thursday, we were able to start the process for writing a personal narrative. We will continue to move through the writing process this week during our writing block. In Wonders, we will begin Unit 2 Week 1 which focuses on cooperation! Content Literacy: We started our first science unit on Monday. The unit is Measuring Matter, which covers states of matter, measurement of matter, changes that occur with matter, and more! We will be moving through this unit for the next couple of weeks. One last thing, your students filled their cotton ball jar while I was on my trip. We took the time to vote on Friday using a ballot system on their next reward. The vote came in and a special snack of popcorn with a sweet treat mixed in was the winner! We will be having this snack on Friday afternoon! Photos of students casting their ballot and with the ballot box will be on my website this week! As always please feel free to reach out if you have questions or concerns. Email works best but if you need to chat by phone or schedule a conference please let me know! Have a terrific week!
