Upcoming Events for October 3rd-7th

Here’s a Sneak Peek at Next Week:

Learning Objectives

• Reading: What are the habits of a  good reader? We will learn about the Flippy Dolphin strategy (Flip the vowels. EX: Try out a long "a" sound if that doesn't sound right try the short "a" sound). We will study words that have l-blends. We will practice reading, sorting, writing, and spelling during Word Study time. 
• Writing: We will write stories about a person in 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 will learn how to write subtraction equations and use pictures to help us solve subtraction story problems. 
• Social Studies: We will finish our Diversity unit. We will learn about African, Mexican, Chinese, German, and Japanese cultures. We will also be learning about fire safety. 
• 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 63/64

2.) Kim's Classroom worksheet (map skills review)

3.) Money Worksheet (use the count on strategy)

4.) 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)

-OPTIONAL: math workbook pages 59-62, 65/66
