In the past, I have always done a newsletter to put into the Tuesday Communicators, but in this technological world we are all living in, I feel I can save a tree or two by communicating via the blog. I will do my best, once a week to let you know a little bit about what we will be working on that week so that you can be prepared and better help your child with his/her homework.
Spelling - We made (yes, made) our first spelling list today. I do spelling a little differently, so please ask your child more about it and I will fill in any gaps tomorrow night. They should complete two spelling homeworks sometime this week and their first spelling test will be on Friday.
Reading - Our focus this week is on parts of a story such as characters, setting and plot as well as summarizing. Our fluency focuses this week are to read with accuracy and making self-corrections as we read.
Language Arts - The students will be writing small biographies about a classmate whom they interviewed last week.
Alabama History - We will be looking more at some basic world geography as well as map reading skills.
Science - We will be looking at light and hopefully beginning our unit on sound.
Math - Our main focus right now is on number sense and place value. We will be talking about standard, word and expanded form as well as rounding numbers.
I hope to see each of you tomorrow evening starting around 6pm. There will be three sessions, so if you have other children at Shades Cahaba, you will have time to visit more than one classroom.
Thank you for your help and support at home!
