- A big thanks to Priya and Courtney for sending a Farm Stand reminder! Our kids had a great time today!
- Our rescheduled trip to the farm is Wednesday October 19th. Trip slips were sent home today.
- This week we start our residency with Circle in the Square!
- We started differentiated math groups!
- Courtney and Priya had the great idea of setting up a class mailing list for the "Remind" app. I will look into this and send out more information shortly.
CURRICULUM:
Reading: This week we are moving into bend three of our current reading unit, which focuses on ways to challenge more complicated texts. We will study context clues and figurative language to determine meaning.
Writing: This week we are learning sophisticated ways to revise and organize our writing by paragraphing, integrating different types of details, and using various forms of punctuation (including punctuating dialogue).
Math: Students have started switching to differentiated math groups. Ms. Mackenzie and I studied student preassessment data and grouped students by areas of needs. We are in the midst of engaging in rounding center word practicing strategies like using a number line to plot a number and determine the nearest 10 or 100. Next week all groups will explore regrouping.
Social Studies: Students are starting to explore the different regions within the United States, starting with the Northeast.
