September 5, 2014


READING
            We have been working on learning our Daily 5 routine.  This is our stations that we use during guided reading.   This week our story was McDuff Moves In by Rosemary Wells.  We worked on the comprehension strategy of text-to-self connections.  We are sharing our reading lives with each other and building a reading community in our classroom. 

            Next week we will be doing the MAPS testing on Monday and Tuesday.  Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep and eats a good breakfast.  This gives us a way to chart your child’s progress in reading and math


Curriculum Night
            Just a reminder that Curriculum Night is on September 9th at 6:00.  I look forward to seeing you there!
 


MATH
            This week we started Math with Understanding Addition and Subtraction.  This unit teaches the children when to use addition and subtraction and also helps to reinforce number sense.


Social Studies
            We have been working on map skills.  We learned the difference between using a map and a globe and how to use a map key to read a map. 

  
Happy Birthday
