This Week (Sept.22)
Parent interviews are on Wednesday this week. Please sign up at school or send me a note
for a time to meet. If you are unable to
meet on Wednesday give me a call and we can arrange another time. If you haven’t paid your $26 for school
supplies please send your money to school.
More details will come home for the camping trip this week.
Math: We continue our focus for the first few weeks on math patterns.
Reading: I am doing some reading assessments with the students so I can become familiar with their skills and comprehension. Students will be reading short stories, readers’ theatre, and we’ll be focusing on reading fluency.
Writing: Attention will be focused on developing a strong understanding of sentences and grammar. Students will be have daily writing times and are currently writing pen pal letters to children in Malawi.
Keyboarding: We begin keyboarding this week as a daily practice. Students will practice typing skills with their hands covered to ensure they don’t look at their hands. Improved typing skills means better and more writing for stories and research. I encourage students to practice at home on the website we use at school: http://www.freetypinggame.net/
Art: The themes we are looking at in art are lines and patterns.
PE: I’m starting out with simple games and focusing on cooperation and teamwork. Every Tuesday is dance day: students are learning to jive.
