Team News: Week of Sept. 16-20

Hard working week for everyone but we made it!  Your children continue to amaze me!

Literacy:  We dove into our first nonfiction story, "Kid Reporters at Work."  The article was a little confusing and overwhelming but we managed to compare and contrast the two kid reporters as well take some notes on important information.  Everyone worked really hard on all their assessments and worked really well during centers so I could get the DIBELS completed!  All the kiddos seem to be getting used to being responsible for getting their work plan assignments completed.  I love hearing the assignment that each student is most proud of on Friday when we share our work plans.

Math:  We finished up Unit 1 in Math and took the assessment on Friday.  Next week we will quickly review any skills missed on the assessment and then begin Unit 2.  Unit 2 focuses on multiplication and division.  It will be a priority to learn and memorize those multiplication facts!

Social Studies:  We finished up taking notes on the 3 regions of NH.  We used these notes to begin our first picture writing project.  Students were able to create paintings of the Coastal Lowlands and the Eastern New England Uplands.  We have also begun the writing that will go along with these paintings.  I can't wait for you to see their paintings and their writing...I'm blown away! 

We also started our Friday club activities which take place from 1:40-3:00 every Friday afternoon.  These will run for the next few weeks.  Ask your child what he/she is doing! 

Reminders:  Book order is due 9/25 (Wednesday).  Remember you can order online (see previous post) or you can send the order into school.  Also, Friday is an Early Release Day...students are being dismissed at 12:55.
