We had a wonderful start to our week today! We are right in the thick of things with our class switches and are in the midst of jumping into all curriculum areas.
Please Note: If you have not turned in your yellow emergency card we are only two away from having our full class set. Please send it in tomorrow! Also-if you are still holding onto the Getting To Know Your Star sheet, that provides us with valuable information we want to know about your child, please send it in as soon as possible. Also--please don't forget that Parent Information Night is this Wednesday, from 5-6. There has been a time change due to the DMS Parent Night conflict.
LA-We had our spelling pre-test today. Each child should have their list of spelling words for the week, highlighted in their folder. The spelling test will be given on Friday. We also listened to The Mystery of the Missing Lunch today. This will be the story that we are working on this week. Using this story, we will be learning about problem/solution, using charts to organize information, using a dictionary to look up unfamiliar words, fluency and comprehension. Students were assigned Fluency and Flow (F/F) today. There are 4 parts to this homework assignment.
Part 1: The students need to read the story aloud to someone older then themselves. Whoever listens needs to please sign the F/F sheet.
Part 2: Students need to complete the 5 questions at the end of the story in complete sentences and good handwriting.
Part 3: Students need to complete the Word Workout section on their F/F sheet. This needs to be done with an adult's help.
Part 4: Students need to complete the back of the F/F sheet using the directions provided.
All parts of Fluency and Flow are due on Friday. If it is not turned in, an Oops Slip will be given.
Math: Today in math we took a mini tour of our Student Reference Books (SRB) The students were able to familiarize themselves with the layout of the book. Page 3 in their journals was assigned for homework.
Health: We began a short discussion on the body systems and what they do for us and how they keep us healthy. We watched a short video that went into a bit more detail! We're looking forward to diving into the sense organs tomorrow.
We had a very busy day!
