September 13, 2019
I would like to remind you to check your child's assignment notebook every night and sign it. This is a great form of communication. Talk about what we are studying in class.
Social Science We will be learning about the 7 continents and the 5 oceans. By the end of this unit, students will be able to locate the 7 continents and 5 oceans.
Spelling Your child's spelling sort will come home on Monday. Students are being asked to choose 3 activities, one from each column, on the Spelling Homework Menu. This will help them master their spelling words. All 3 activities should be stapled to the Spelling Homework Menu and the square initialed by a parent. It should be turned in on Friday, September 27, which is the day of the test. The test will include 15 words from the student's list (teacher's choice) and 2 sentences, using any of their words.
English Language Arts We will continue focusing on various reading skills using fun literature. This week our book will be Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Our skills studied will be finding evidence and details.
Friday, your child brought home a brown bag project: the "ME BAG". They need to find 3 of his or her favorite things to put into the bag. These 3 things should tell the class about their personality or favorite activities. This is due on Wednesday, September 18th. We will be writing a 5 paragraph essay about their Me Bags. Please see the sheet in their homework folder for the complete project.
Please keep track of your child’s reading (20 minutes, 20 days). They can turn it in on or before October 1.
