This week we will be focusing on fluency with addition and subtraction as well as addition and subtraction word problems. We are incorporating our thinking strategies of ‘Determining Importance’ and ‘Monitoring for Meaning’. In our mini-lessons students will practice looking for keywords that help them determine what operation to use (Determining Importance) as well as information to help them solve the question. Students will also check to make sure that their answers make sense (Monitoring for Meaning). Our math workshop is coming along well, and this week we will work on the reflection piece so that students can really begin monitoring their thinking and progression throughout their independent time. I will also begin conferring with students during their independent time and creating individual ‘SMART’ goals with them.
In science we are continuing to learn about the properties of rocks. We will also be having a geologist, one of our wonderful parents, come and talk to all of the students on Friday! I’ll be posting pictures about all the fun activities and learning that takes place so make sure to check back here next weekend!
I have added a few photos on our class photo album from last week, so make sure to check them out! Also, I realized that I accidentally wrote the due date for homework as September 26th, but it is due on September 25th (Thursday). Sorry for the confusion!
Just a few quick reminders this week. First, another book order is coming home on Friday. If you'd like to order some books please return the form and payment to me by
October 23rd. You can also order online (the activation code for our class is attached to the order form!). Finally, just another reminder that the fun run is coming up on October 5th. It should be a fun afternoon and I hope to see you there!
