Happy 4th week of school! We are getting really close to being back in to the full swing of things! Here are the happenings for this week!
Math: This week we are working on adding multi-digit numbers together using a numberline, or decomposing numbers. We will learn the standard algorithm later in the year, but not right now.
Reading: We are working how a character's motivation affects the sequence of events in a story. Ask your student about what happened in the latest chapter of our class book!
Writing: The students are working on using sequencing words, adding in sensory details, and creating more complex sentences. Students are on the mission for "Apostrophe Catastrophes" (ex. Ann's Wig's... yes that was really someone's sign.) They can earn $30 if they bring in a picture or email one in.
Homework: Math homework and journals came home today. They are due friday. The journal prompt for this week is... "Write about your favorite parts of fall." Students need to use sesory details and adjectives to describe the season.
Spelling Words: (TEST FRIDAY)
