Homework: Read for 20-30 minutes nightly and record on Scootpad. I will send home a note when it is up and running. For right now please just read each night.
Monday: A two page packet will go home with a reading section, a math section and either a science or social studies section. Also do one session of xtramath.com. It will take 5 minutes.
Tuesday: One page from the packet and xtramath.com
Wednesday: One page from the packet and xtramath.com
Thursday: One page from the packet and xtramath.com
Friday: Return the homework packet. Also make sure you have recorded your minutes on Scootpad for your reading log once it is up and running.
Star Students: Everyone was a shining star this week! I will be featuring a new star each week. I will be looking for students who are following our life skills.
Starring this week:
READING: Our focus is asking and answering questions. When they are reading they need to ask themselves questions about their book before, during, and after they have finished.
MATH: We are learning about things that come in equal groups. The students are modeling multiplication problems by drawing equal groups and arrays. I will be sending home a parent letter from our math series that goes along with each lesson. This will give you great ideas on how to help your child and examples with each lesson.
WRITING: We are building our writing community and practicing our writing skills each day. We will be starting our first big writing unit the first week of September.
SCIENCE/SOCIAL STUDIES: We will be learning about hygiene and germs this week for our health lessons.
