Thank you for meeting with me last week. I enjoyed it very much! Here is the update for this week:
Math- We are working on 2 and 3 digit subtraction throughout the week. Many of the students are struggling a bit with the borrowing across zeros. I have sent home a worksheet for homework. The students will receive 2 extra "sticks" for the store if they complete it correctly, and with a parent signature.
Times Tables- We are still working on our 12's. We will finish pass-off's up this week. Next will be the 9's.
Cursive- Complete lower case "n" today. Will continue on "m" this week also.
Unit Study- We are finishing up our Iron County unit this week with a writing assignment. After Fall Break we will start "Heat & Light"
Daily 5- Yay! We started our first "Four Square Writing" this week. The students are writing a persuasive paper on the why Iron County is the best place to live. The work they have already done is awesome and so exciting to see! We will also continue working with words, read/self, & listening.
Interventions- Our first week of interventions were successful. Each student is placed in a group that will help with his/her strengths and weaknesses. The students that are in my group are working on guided reading, word work, Mountain Language, phonics and the parts of speech.
Parent Volunteers- I would like to begin having our volunteers come the first week of November. I will send a reminder to those who signed up. I will also be posting a list of the parents who signed up to bring treats for the Halloween party. Your help is appreciated. Thank you so much!
Next Monday is picture retake & make-up day. For those students who want to have retakes, they should bring their original pictures to school with them on Monday. Also, this Wednesday is thelast day to order T-Shirts.
Have a wonderful week!
