Upcoming Events for September 12th-16th

Here’s a Sneak Peek at Next Week:

Learning Objectives

• Reading: What are the habits of a  good reader? We will learn about the Eagle Eye strategy (look at the pictures to solve unknown words) and Lips the Fish strategy (get your mouth ready to make the first letter sound). We will build endurance with Read to Self, Read to Someone, Word Work, and Listen to Reading. We will study the short "u" vowel. We will practice reading, sorting, writing, and spelling during Word Study time. 
• Writing: We will write stories about what we do with our friends. We will learn how to add more details to our illustrations and sentences. We are working on writing sentences with capital letters, spaces between words, and ending marks. 
• Math: We will be starting Unit 2. The focus will be on addition, subtraction, and equations. We will be learning through games, story problems, and traditional equations. 
• Social Studies: We will begin our study on maps. Students will be expected to know cardinal directions (North, South, East, West), how to construct a simple map, and how to read a map using a map key/legend.
• Character:  How can we find solutions and not blame? How can I be an AES Star and "Act Kindly"?
