Announcements


Tardies

Please make sure that you are getting your children to school by or before 7:40. Leaners that aren't in the classroom by 7:40 are sent to the office and counted tardy. Our learning day starts at 7:40 and we want to make sure that all of our learners are present and on time! Thank you for your help!! Your child can get to school as early as 7:20 to spend time in the gym with their peers. 


What are we learning?

Math
In math, learners will continue to build on their understanding of place value as they invent strategies and/or use mental math and the properties of operations to construct methods for adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers. Learners will begin to relate these strategies to the standard algorithm. 

HomefunReflex math will hopefully begin in October. We are waiting for all learners to be finalized in the system. Be on the lookout for a paper coming home with login information and directions on creating a parent account!


Language Arts
In reading, learners will understand that good readers make inferences while they read. They will revisit how to make an inference and why it is important. In Writing, learners will review how to create a topic sentence and explore how to create a strong introduction. They will also review how to write a complete sentences by participating in some fun activities. Please continue practicing spelling words at home. Out first test is Friday, September 29th.

Homefun: Spelling Test is Friday, September 29th. Continue to work on the 30 Book Challenge. 

Science
In science this week, leaners will explore and recognize that a mixture is created when two or more materials are combined such as gravel and sand or metal and plastic paper clips. We will effectively communicate scientific reasoning our findings in our science notebooks!

Social Studies
In social studies, learners will understand what makes a good citizen and why it is important.
