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. 

Spelling
          Next week I will be sending home a spelling word sort.  This is a practice word sort, so the children learn how to sort their spelling words.  The week of September 12th, they will come home with their real spelling words to sort and learn.  I will go over this in more detail at Curriculum Night.

Reading Logs
            Our Reading Logs came home for September.  Our class voted to have a “Stuffed Animal Day” as a reward.  Every child who turns in a completed reading log on October 1st will be able to participate in the “Stuffed Animal Day”.  Keep reading!!
  
MATH
            Next week we will be working on writing numbers in different ways, problem solving and counting patterns within 100 and 1,000.      

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. 

Curriculum Night
            Just a reminder that Curriculum Night is on September 7th at 6:30.  I look forward to seeing you there!


Happy Birthday!
