Updates from Our Classroom This Week
Reminders
Fundraiser order forms are due on Tuesday, September 12th! Thank you for all your help raising money for our school!
Math
In math this week, our focus was making combinations of ten. We learned how to play Fishing for 10, which is similar to Go Fish. Playing this game at home can help your child become more efficient with knowing these combinations and using them to solve problems in later units.

Reading
In reading, one of our objectives
was to continue building our independent reading stamina. It’s gone from 5
minutes at the beginning of the year to 11 minutes now! We were also practicing
how to keep track of our reading in a reading log and how to set long term and
short term goals for ourselves as readers.
Writing
We have been working very hard on
a class writing project. We used a mentor text, Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon,
and identified character traits and descriptive language we could use to write
about her. We practiced how to ask a partner questions and wrote our own poems
to get to know each other. Each student will have a chance to take it home and
share it with their family!
Homework
Homework will be starting on
Monday, September 11th. The first week will just be a reading log,
where students keep track of the reading they do at home. The next week, I will
begin to add a bit of math practice and spelling words related to what we have
done in class. Homework will always be given on Monday and will be due on
Friday, so students are able to use the week to manage their time.
