The school year is now in full swing! Students have taken their first tests in Math and social studies! You should see those in today's Friday Folders. Please sign and return the Chapter 1 Math test with the Friday Folder on Monday. These will go into your child's portfolio at school. You will get them back at a later date.
Math
Our next chapter in math is on Mental Math. You will start seeing math homework coming home next week. This is a challenging chapter. Your child will be assessed on the skills, but it will be to inform my instruction at this time. Mental math is something we will be working on all year. On the Parent Info page you will find videos to help you understand what your child is learning in each chapter of Math in Focus.
Reading
In reading we are working on reading strategies and learning about all the different genres we will be using this year. This unit is an introduction to skills and strategies we will be covering more in depth throughout the year.
Writing
Students have been enjoying our new Being A Writer program. They are learning about authors and why they write and what inspires them to write. Today we read and wrote acrostic poems.

Enjoy your weekend!
