Parent\/Teacher Conferences<\/strong> \u2013  I am looking forward to meeting with you at conferences next week. We are meeting so that we can work as a team to see how we can best help your student succeed this year. We will go over the beginning of the year testing and discuss progress and goals. We have set aside Thursday afternoon or Friday to be able to meet with you. Please refer to the signup genius for your scheduled time. There will be extended care available on Thursday, but students who are staying will need to bring their own lunch. There is no extended care available on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Directions \u2013 <\/strong>In the papers that are coming home in the envelopes today, you may find some with a number of points counted off for not following directions.  We spent a great deal of time emphasizing the directions and the importance of following them (and even gave them multiple reminders during their work time!)<\/em>.  Please go over these papers with your child.  Attending to directions is a very important skill that they will use throughout the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redo assignments<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 assignments\u00a0to be redone have a percentage less than 75% with a note that says \u201cPlease redo\u201d. On a separate piece of paper, please have your student put their name, date, and assignment that is being redone. Both the original assignment and the redo need to be attached together and turned in by Monday of each week. Please contact me if there are any questions about the redo assignments. Redoing the assignments will help students to focus on problem areas and help them to prepare for testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Math \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0We are continuing to work on rounding, and next week we will be finishing up our chapter on the addition of numbers up to 3 digits with regrouping.\u00a0 We should be ready to test the following week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Studies \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Our first unit covers regions of the United States.\u00a0 The class has been working on poster maps of the regions in class. We will begin a project in Google Classroom soon with an interactive learning guide to learn about 5 regions of the United States including landmarks, tourist locations, regional climate, and landforms.\u00a0<\/strong>The students will make a flipbook of the things they have learned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>We are learning about force and motion in science. We will also be looking at simple machines as we prepare for our first field trip which is to Science City next month! The original date needed to be changed to Thursday, October 19, due to the availability of their lunch area. Watch for the permission slip to be coming home next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our new playground <\/strong>is ready to be installed, but we need help moving the pieces. Can you help? \u00a0Here are the dates and times we need HELP!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
