We had a great second week! We are beginning to get into the routine of school. Here’s what we were up to:
Math: This week we had four math lessons and a flex day. We focused on place value, rounding, and estimation. If you noticed that your son/daughter struggled with any of these concepts on the pretest, these would be great things to practice on either IXL or the home links. These are on top of the math fact fluency practice that they should be doing. We want to work on everyone getting 90 percent or better on their first math assessment in a few weeks.
Reading: Students have been doing a great job getting into our routines during reading. I’m excited to begin reading with all of them next week in order to form our first guided reading groups. We will be finishing up benchmark assessments this week and next week start guided groups.
Writing: This week we wrote poems about ourselves called bio poems. We finished typing them and they will soon be on display for you to check out.
PBL: We finished our first PBL unit! We took selfies that represented us in some way, we wrote poems about ourselves, and we made self portraits to teach each other a little more about us.
Forms to Return: A permission slip went home with your student on Friday. Please sign it and have them return it.
Upcoming: A link was sent to you this week to sign up for conferences. If you have not done so yet, please sign up here.
I’m looking forward to another great week! Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
