Upcoming Events for October 9th-13th

Here’s a Sneak Peek at Next Week:

Learning Objectives










  • Reading: What are the habits of a  good reader? We will learn about the Skippy Frog strategy (Skip the tricky word. Read to the end of the sentence. Go back and try it again.)
  • Writing: We will write stories about an activity we like to do with our family. We will work on adding more details to our illustrations and sentences. We are working on writing sentences with capital letters, spaces between words, and ending marks. I encourage students to be fearless spellers. This means they sound out unknown words or look to the Word Wall for assistance. 
  • Math: We finish Unit 2 and assess the students on their knowledge of solving basic addition and subtraction problems and writing corresponding addition and subtraction equations. The assessment will also test the students knowledge of counting pennies and nickles and repeating patterns. 
  • Social Studies: We will finish our Fire Safety Unit. 
  • Character:  How can we take ownership of our problems? (I teach the students these steps: 1.) Own it! 2.) Fix it 3.) Learn from it 4.) Move on





1.) Math Homework: Workbook pages any pages remaining in Unit 2

2.) Have your child read the leveled books that are sent home (please return these the NEXT day because we need them for our reading group)

3.) Practice Sight words (I will be assessing students on the first 9 weeks list this week.)
