Mrs. Lyons' Class Week 9
Math, Science, Social Studies
October 12th - 16th
We have informal assessments for our report card check lists that are very time consuming, so I will be planning skill building activities for the students while I complete these one-on-one individual student assessments.
In math we will be working on several addition strategies.
In Science, we will finish the last few topics in our nonfiction study on Bats and will begin a nonfiction study on Spiders.
In Social Studies, we will be working in our Maps, Graphs, and Globes workbook.
LOOK FOR FIELD TRIP PERMISSION SLIPS TO COME HOME ON MONDAY! Please return as soon as possible so that we can pay the deposit to confirm our reservation.
