Classroom News
Reading: Our unit on community helpers has
come to a close. Students really
enjoyed learning about the responsibilities of those we see in our community on
a daily basis.
Math: Students began
working on subtraction. We used
visual representations as well as manipulatives to help with our
subtraction. A few new vocabulary
words we learned include: difference, minus, subtraction sentence and
subtract. We also began Gumball
Math. Students have taken a couple
of timed tests with fifty fact problems.
In order to progress onto the next level of difficulty, students must
earn a 100%.
Writing: The writer’s
workshop has continued. Students
have had opportunities to review how to write a story and label pictures
associated with their small moment stories.
What We’re Learning Next
Week:
Reading: Robert
Munsch is a famous children’s author that we will highlight. His books are quite humorous for adults
and children. If you have the opportunity
to get to the library please check out the Robert Munsch section. Students will be reading multiple books
and completing activities linked to the books we read.
Math: Subtraction practice will
continue. We will use pictures to
help us subtract, subtract zero, and take apart numbers. An assessment is planned for the week
of Sept. 22nd.
Writing: Students are doing well with
the writing process. Encourage
your child to write a small moment story at home.
