Week of 9/18/17 - 9/22/18

Happy Friday everyone!   I just want to remind you all to check your child’s assignment notebook (planner) every night and sign it.  We still have some students who are not handing in homework (spelling,) yet the assignments are all clearly written in the planner.  If you need to jot me a quick note, write it in the planner; I check it every day :)

 COMING UP THIS WEEK

Spelling:   A new spelling “sort” and homework menu will be coming home on Monday.  I hope my students are sorting their words and practicing their spelling patterns!  The menu homework will be due on or before 9/29. There were many students that didn’t have the homework that was due today finished.  Please make sure they have it done and turned in on Monday.  

Reading & Language Arts:  This week we will continue writing in our composition books, focusing on narratives.  We’ll also be “close reading” Rumpelstiltskin.  

Please remember to keep track of your child’s reading (20 minutes, 20 days) on the pink reading log.  They will turn it in on or before October 1.

Social Studies:  There will be a short quiz on 9/19 on Continents and Oceans.  Today, I’m sending home a blank world map so your child can practice filling in the continents and oceans.  Our next section of study will be hemispheres.

Science:   We won’t be starting science yet.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:  We’ll really be focusing on double digit addition this week.  There are many strategies for this and we’ll be investigating all of them.  I am tentatively looking at Thursday, 9/28, as the date for our Unit 1 assessment.  I’ll keep you up to date on that test.

Important Dates:  
9/26 - Johnny Appleseed’s Birthday
9/27 - Early Dismissal
10/9 - Columbus Day

Have a great weekend!!
