A Note From Mrs. Waters
It was great for the students to have a full week of school and be back in the routines.
This next week, we will be starting a new reading unit, so please read the attached parent unit letter. The unit letter also tells about our next writing unit which we will begin in two weeks. We will be reading lots of nonfiction books before we write informational books.
Below you will see what we will be working on in our class next week, information from the office and other important dates.
Reading
Students will be immersed in nonfiction books this week. They will be sorting our nonfiction book by topic instead of reading level.
Writing
Math
Students will continue to measure the lengths of objects by using non-standard units, such as paper clips and centimeter cubes.
Social Studies
