Homework - This week only 2 items. Spelling (they brought that home in their Spelling notebook-which will always stay in their backpack.) We did the word sort today, so all they need to do is copy the words that we colored and glued down. Timed math sheet. They need to be timed for 10 minutes. Circle the problems they don't finish. You can practice these problems all week. All homework in my class is turned in on Fridays. If the whole class has their homework we will have a popcorn party.
This is a quick look at what we will be doing:
Reading - Henry and Mudge - I will also be doing DRA testing which is individualized while they do Daily 5 which is silent reading or reading to a partner.
Writing - Learning how to be good writer's. (Every Monday they will write about their weekend.)
Language - How to Write Sentences
Social Studies - Citizens/Communities
Math - DNA testing (they can't study for it--common questions on what they already know.) I do this testing individually while the rest of the class plays math games to sharpen skills.
Science - Safety Tools - they will be making an 8 square of the picture and the definition.
**This year we are having WEDNESDAY folders instead of Tuesday folders. Look for notes from the school and graded work as well as comments of behavior. IF there is a failing grade I will write it on the folder. You will need to sign that paper and return it. All Wednesday folders should be signed so I know you saw it.
Papers will go home about joining PTO - we would love to have 100% of our class families join!
Also, I have Show and Tell in my class. They are allowed to bring one item a week. (Many brought them today.)
