August 26th - 28th
Important Dates and Upcoming Tests
Getting to Know You!
We will be working to set up Reading and Writing expectations this week. One way to do this will be through reading the book Towers Falling. This book will help model and teach the skills readers need to use while reading their own books. If you would like to know more about our classroom mentor text/read aloud book you can click on the title to see the author's summary.
DON'T FORGET: Students should be reading their own books for 20 minutes every night!

When testing is completed, we will begin our first unit over Area and Surface Area and will work on this unit for 4 weeks. In this unit, students will learn how to find the area, surface area, and volume of a multitude of different shapes.
