Odds and Ends: * Please be sure to check and sign your child's assignment notebook each night. Help them build a responsible and independent routine at home of unpacking their binder every night and emptying the "Take Home" section and checking the homework folder and the assignment notebook. Thanks!
UPCOMING EVENTS:
*Mon. 9/10: Magazine Drive Kick off Assembly
*Fri. 9/14: English: DOL #1 Graded Review
A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK:
*Reading: We will focus on writing and important grammar mini lessons as we work to write our ME bag papers. We will focus on capital letters, end marks, and proper organization of paragraphs and main ideas and details in our writing. We will work to make a final "published" copy of our papers and present them next week.
* English: We are reinforcing the grammar skills that we are using in our writing through DOL (Daily Oral Language) mini lessons. A study guide was sent home with your child on Friday. They can look at the mini lessons in their ELA notebook to review. The quiz will be on Fri. 9/14.
*Spelling: Your child's spelling word sort lists will be sent home next week Monday. Every other Monday, your child will receive a new word list. They will keep one list at home to study and one list and a menu in their spelling folder. Most of the spelling work on the menu is done at school and due the day of the test (the 2nd Friday after receiving the new words). Please check on your child's progress to make sure they will be able to complete 3 spelling activities by the due date.
*Social Studies: We will continue to study maps as we learn about continents and oceans.
*Mrs. Olsen's Math Class: We are continuing to review addition and subtraction strategies. We will practice our fact fluency with addition fast facts this week. A graded checkpoint will be given on Wed.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Olsen
