What We Will
Learn This Week
Math: We will begin
Chapter 3 in our curriculum. This covers
basic subtraction symbols, writing subtraction sentences, and subtracting zero
from numbers.
Word Study: We are
continuing to study word families.
Please review the following word families with your scholar: -op, -ot,
-og.
Literacy Block: We are continuing to practice literacy
station rotations. We are also finishing
our metacognition unit (thinking
about our reading).
Writer’s Workshop: Scholars are continuing to work independently
during writer’s workshop to become authors.
Scholars are focusing on adding details to their stories.
Social Studies: We are finishing up our introductory
character-building unit, “The ABC’s of Feelings,” and will begin learning about
different genres in our first Core knowledge unit.
Reminders
and Notes
Scholars
have received a monthly reading log for the remaining weeks in September. Scholars
are expected to read at home with a family member for 30 minutes EACH
NIGHT. 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.
During
the first quarter, homework will consist of 1 page of aligned math review and 1
page of writing. This amount will
increase in future quarters.
Please
work WITH your scholar on editing their writing each night. Scholars should be working on at least one of
the following skills each night (depending on ability level): labeling pictures,
sounding out words, using correct spelling, adding details, capitalizing and
using correct punctuation, revising and editing their work.
Should
your scholar need to fill out a behavior reflection (if they are on Orange or
Red), they must be signed and returned in your scholar’s binder the following
day.
