"The goldenrod is yellow
The corn is turning brown
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down."
I can't believe we've reached the end of September! What a wonderful month we've had together. Students have continued to work hard and treat each other well. I couldn't ask for a nicer class. :)
Students took a spelling pretest this morning. Their new rule features vowel-consonant-silent e words. Their pretest and new words will go home with them tomorrow. They will have a spelling assignment due on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Please refer to the spelling menu for homework choices and the spelling test date (10/9).
We will begin Unit 2 in math this week. In this unit, children make sense of one and two step number stories involving all four arithmetic operations. They represent situations with diagrams, arrays, pictures, words and number models. Students will improve their problem solving strategies and further their understanding of solving number stories. Please see your child's Home Link each night for our daily Learning Objective.
Students will complete their Square One art projects this week. They will start their rough draft today and then work on the final design over the next four days. I look forward to seeing their creativity!
We will continue studying the seven continents, four main bodies of water and understanding the cardinal directions this week. Students will finish their Not a Box presentations and work on giving "glows and grows" to their classmates. We will use a rubric to reflect on our experience as well.
Have a fantastic week! :)

"By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer."
Helen Hunt Jackson
What a beautiful, warm day to start our week! Students practiced bus evacuations this morning. These practice drills help students to know what to do in the event of an bus emergency. The kids did a great job listening and following the bus driver's directions.
We will finish Unit 1 in math on Wednesday. We will review for the test on Thursday and a study packet will go home that evening. Students should be prepared for a test on Friday. Please see your child's Home Link each night for the daily Learning Objective.
We will have our first spelling test on Wednesday. Students should complete two spelling assignments before then. Please remind your child to check the Spelling Menu for creative homework ideas. I also offer choices in a spelling folder at school each day. The next pretest won't be given until Monday, September 30th.
Students are preparing their Not a Box presentations currently. They are working hard to create and show their quality work. We will continue working on our Community PBL when this particular project ends.
Students have been enjoying the Seesaw activities. Please contact me if you haven't connected yet and need the link or QR code to join. As a parent, you can "like" your student's posts and comment on their work.
Students are excited for our next STEAM activity with Ms. Carlozzi on Friday. :)
