They celebrated their first marble party on Friday. It only took them 11 days to earn all the marbles. They have already started working on their next party.
Picture Day
Don't forget, picture day is Friday, September 14th.
Math
Right now students are practicing manipulating numbers and reviewing facts. Students who have these skills mastered get to try more challenging skills. We are also adding coins. It is important for students to know the values of coins and to know which are which.
Spelling
As students practice their words, it is a good idea to think of other words that rhyme with the spelling words. In this way, learning to spell fine can help students spell mine, pine, and line. We practiced finding some of these words yesterday.
Reading
Students have taken the IRI. I will be spending time helping students increase their skills and become excellent readers. It is very important that they continue to read at home.
Don't forget the reading logs are due each Monday. This Monday, I sent home the first fluency passage. The directions are in a sheet protector in your child's home folder. Remember that the 5 minutes spent on fluency can count towards their 20 minutes.
Writing
Students are working on writing at least two complete sentences with correct punctuation. A few students have already mastered this and I have given them their own goal.
Science
Students are learning that scientists ask questions and make observations about what they want to learn more about. We will continue practicing these skills be studying the diversity of life this month.
