Upcoming Events for September 19th - 23rd

Here’s a Sneak Peek at Next Week:

Learning Objectives

• Reading: What are the habits of a  good reader? We will learn about the Stretchy Snake strategy (stretch out the sounds you hear to solve a word). We will study words that have s-blends. We will practice reading, sorting, writing, and spelling during Word Study time. 
• Writing: We will write stories about animals we love. 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 continue to learn about number partners and equations. We will discuss what it means to be equal. We will investigate the value of coins (penny, nickel, dime, quarter).
• Social Studies: We continue 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 I be an AES Star and "Respect Self, Others, and Property?"
• STEM: We will start our first STEM project! Here is the problem we will solve:

Farmer Brown needs your help!
