Miss Pellin's PostSeptember 5th- September 9th
It was great to meet each of you at curriculum night. Everyone had a great week in class. I have been very pleased with the effort!
This week we will have not have school on Monday, September 5th due to Labor Day. I hope you have a great Labor Day weekend! Classes resume on Tuesday, September 6th.
The Third Week of 2011 at School:
Science: This week we will focus on Social Studies.
Social Studies: There will be a direction quiz on Friday, September 9th. Students will receive a study guide on Tuesday, September 6th. They should review the material on their study guide to prepare for the quiz.
Math: We will study chapter 3, which deals with different addition properties, adding large numbers, rounding, and estimating. On Tuesday, September 13th students will be tested on their basic math addition facts. Students will need to complete 40 addition problems (adding numbers ranging from 1 to 10) in 2 minutes.
Spelling: This week in spelling we will work on Lesson 2. This lesson will focus on words with short vowels. We will pretest on Tuesday and pass out a homework packet due Friday. On Friday we will have a test worth 20 points.
Reading: This week we will continue introducing the reading strategies that we will be utilizing throughout the rest of the year using picture books. The strategies are predicting, inferencing, visualizing, monitoring/clarifying, phonics/decoding, summarizing (fiction and non-fiction), questioning, connecting, and evaluating.
English: This week we will finish our study of commands, statements, exclamations, and questions. We will then study subjects and predicates. We will also work on editing sentences for Daily Oral Language (D.O.L.)
