What We Will Learn This Week

Math: We are continuing our work on Chapter 4, which familiarizes scholars with vertical subtraction and word problems with subtraction.
Word Study: This week we will continue our review of consonant and vowel patterns.  We will also work on alphabetizing to the second letter.
Literacy Block:  We are continuing our next comprehension unit: schema (using what you know to connect with and relate to a text).  We are continuing to practice literacy station rotations.
Writer’s Workshop:  Scholars are continuing to work independently during writer’s workshop to become authors.  Scholars are focusing on adding details to their story in the correct sequence.
Science: We will continue our introductory unit to the human body.

Words to Practice
  here, am, make, saw, find, white, not, blue, run, put

Fall Break Packets
This week scholars will receive two fun and challenging packets (one for math and one for reading), personalized to meet their individual academic needs.  These packets are to be completed over fall break. Although we have covered these topics and skills in class already, it is important that you supervise and your student as they complete all assignments. The packet is to be turned in on Monday, October 15th.  All late packets will result in a grade of a 0, with no exceptions.

Reading Logs
Scholars have received a NEW reading log for the month of October.  Scholars are expected to read at home with a family member for 30 minutes EACH NIGHT, INCLUDING OVER FALL BREAK.  These logs will be collected and graded at the end of every month.  The logs are to be kept neatly in the clear page protector in their binder.

REMINDER: THERE IS NO SCHOOL FROM OCTOBER 8TH-OCTOBER 12TH FOR FALL BREAK.
