The Week of September September 19 - September 23

Three weeks in already! Time flies when you are having fun!

Language:
Students continue to investigate what effective readers do while reading. We captured student thinking on an anchor chart - it is quite detailed! 




We have also been learning about making solid predictions using fictional texts. We thought it was important to highlight the rules for fiction.  Please have your child explain - with the help of their Google Classroom- the rules of fiction. While you are looking at the Rules of Fiction Doc, ask your child to explain how we use Google Classroom.

We have been developing goals for the students.  These goals are posted on the goal board.  It is a great way for students to frequently be reminded of what exactly they need to do in order to progress.  Coming home tonight is a photo of your child's fluency passage and their fluency goal.  Please ask your child to first review their goal and then read the passage to you.  We think you will be very happy!



Math:
This week the students worked very hard on representing numbers! Again, have your child walk you through their notes in the Google Classroom.  Next week we are switching gears and are going to be investigating operations.

Here are some things to ask about when you are talking to your child about their week at school...

  • Google Classroom
  • "George's Marvelous Medicine"
  • The Place Value system and how important the number 10 is to it
  • Rules for fiction
  • Predictions
  • Define the problem
  • Book Creator App

Next Week...
On Wednesday we are all going to the Frink Center for some out door education.  Long pants and long sleeves are  recommended. There is a coin collection happening for the Terry Fox run which we are participating in on Thursday.  There is a superhero theme so students are encouraged to be a superhero for the day!  We also ask that all of our students bring a reusable water bottle if they have one at home.  It is important for our brains to stay hydrated!





Stay Tuned...
