Good Afternoon Families!

It was an absolute pleasure seeing you last night!  I hope you found curriculum night to be informative.  Your involvement and support are greatly appreciated!  

The link you clicked on is our classroom Blogger page, which will have bi-monthly classroom updates.  Included in the updates will be our current target concepts in all academic areas, classroom events, and important upcoming dates.  An email with a link to our classroom Blogger page will be pushed out every two weeks when our Blogger page is updated.

Here are the targets we are currently / planning on working to master over the next couple of weeks:

Literacy
* Our students are currently working on finding the theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text, including how characters in a story or drama respond to challenges or how the speaker in a poem reflects upon a topic.

Writing
* Our students are off to a great start writing narrative pieces. We are currently working on orienting the reader by establishing a situation and introducing a narrator and/or characters.

Math
* Our students are currently working on writing and comparing decimals to the thousandths using base ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.

Social Studies
* We plan on starting geography in the coming days.  We will start with locating, on a map, the major river systems of the world.

Science
* We plan on starting our weather unit in the coming days and look forward to fun explorations!


Upcoming Events
** Tuesday, September 1st - Early Release
** Monday September 7th - No School (Labor Day)


Friendly Reminders
** Please remember to send your child with a healthy snack.  Nothing feeds the brain like a healthy snack!  

** Please continue to have your child practice their multiplication facts up to 12.


Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  Thank you and have a fantastic weekend!
