Happy beginning of the second quarter. 😀 Thank you to all the families who came in for parent teacher conferences. It's always great to touch base about your child's education, set goals, and work together to ensure educational success for each student. I appreciate everyone taking time out of their busy schedules to come in and meet with me. I also appreciate everyone taking the time to read our blog every week to catch up on what is happening in our class and at Marshall. Here is this weeks scoop...
Math: The moment we've all been waiting for...subtraction! We will be working on our subtraction for a while, beginning with learning how to subtract on a number line, relating subtraction to addition, and writing corresponding number sentences.
Language Arts: We did not quite finish our Mummies in the Morning book last week, so we will finish it this week. The students are learning so much from this story, and have had so much fun with this unit! I can't wait for them to take home their packets and share everything they have learned with you at home. Also, we will be reading "Boots for Beth" from our Hartcourt series.
Homework: Please notice I have added the weekly story to the weekly homework packet. Please have your child read this out loud to you once every night!
Science: We will finish Ancient Egypt with the students working in teams to build their pyramids, which they did not get to because our mummies took a little longer than expected. After that the next couple of weeks we will work on a human bodies unit.
Social Studies: The students will get to continue learning about mummies and tombs, and design their own sarcophagus.
Extra Scoop:
- Gallop Money Due This Wednesday, October 18th! All money you have so graciously worked hard collecting for this important fundraiser is due this Wednesday. Thank you for you support of our school! We appreciate your time and efforts!
- Box Tops are also due on Wednesday October 18th! You get to send everything in on one day! Whoo hoo!
- Fall Harvest Party - On Tuesday October 31st we will have a "fall harvest" party. If you wish to send in treats, you may. I will not send a sign up sheet, we will enjoy what we get. I ask that you refrain from brining in sugary treats, the students will be getting plenty on this night. Some ideas are fruit trays, cheese and crackers, veggies and dips, string cheese, applesauce, etc. Trust me, the kids LOVE these, and devour them like you wouldn't believe! Also NO COSTUMES!!! I will make any child who shows up in costume change into regular clothing from the nurse, sorry.
