9/18 Unit 1 Week 1 Reading and Spelling tests
Classroom News:
Beginning the week of September 18th, your child will take a Spelling test and a Reading test- either on Friday or the last day of the school week. You can access scores from Reading tests on Power School, or on the Pearson app on your child's tablet. Reading tests are taken on the tablet, therefore no paper scores will be sent home. Spelling tests are completed on paper, so scores will be sent home by Monday. I will demonstrate accessing Pearson and Haiku during Curriculum Night.
Please send 5 binder tabs (page dividers) to school by Tuesday, 9/8. Your child needs these for his/her Reading Binder.
MATH: Students have learned how to access the interactive SRB (Student Reference Book) on their tablets. Login information is stapled to your child's agenda. Everyday Math Online can be accessed from any mobile device. You can access Home Links, games to practice skills, copies of the Family Letters that were sent home last week, and more. If you enrolled in Remind.com, you'll receive notice by text or email about upcoming test dates or important due dates. Homework should be written in your child's agenda each day. Links to Study Guides, helpful games, videos, demos, and more will be listed on the Math Haiku page.
SOCIAL STUDIES: Our first unit of study is maps. We have learned about the difference between maps and globes, different purposes for maps, the names and locations of the oceans and continents, and the parts of maps. Our Social Studies Haiku page has the lyrics for a few songs we used to remember the oceans and continents.
We Made It!!!
Have a fantastic long weekend - I look forward to seeing you at Curriculum Night next Thursday.
