READING
           Our first unit in reading is called “Friendship”.  We will be reading many books and discussing how to be a good friend.  We will talk about character traits that make a good friend.

Next week we will be doing the MAPS testing Monday through Thursday for 30 minutes.  This gives us a way to chart your child’s progress in reading and math.            

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 18th, they will come home with their real spelling words to sort and learn.  The first spelling test will be on September 29th.

                                      MATH
                   Next week we will be working on using drawings and equations to represent problems and repeated addition.  We will have our first chapter test.

Curriculum Night
          Thank you for attending Curriculum Night!  I enjoyed talking with you and getting to know you better.  If you were unable to make it to Curriculum Night, I have sent home the information that was handed out at Curriculum Night.
