Units of Study
Social Studies: We are wrapping up a review of map skills. This mini-unit lays the foundation for the study of the geography of our state. We will have a quiz on Tuesday, Sept. 23rd. A study guide will be coming home soon. Look for it in your child's green homework folder.
Math: We are moving right along in our multiplication unit. We are exploring the meanings of multiplication and division. We will be moving to basic fact fluency practice, as well as learning the properties of multiplication. Study those multiplication facts with your child at home! Below is a link to one of my son's favorite multiplication games - TIMEZ ATTACK! Check it out!

Reading: I am wrapping up beginning of the year Fountas and Pinnell reading assessments. I have been so impressed with all the wonderful reading students have been doing over the past two weeks. I can't wait to share your child's assessment with you at our parent-teacher conference in October!
Writing: We are in the middle of our personal narrative writing unit. We are working to capture those "small moments" in our memories and put them onto paper to tell a story. This week, students will be using the iPads to record themselves telling a small moment story. After recording, students will play back their videos and write down their story on paper. We will then work to revise and edit our small moments to make them into personal narratives that come alive for our readers!

SCES is NO PLACE FOR HATE!
- I promise to do my best to treat everyone fairly.
- I promise to do my best to be kind to everyone ~ even if they are not like me.
- If I see someone bring hurt or bullied, I will tell a teacher.
- Everyone should be able to feel safe and happy in school.
- I want out school to be NO PLACE FOR HATE!
It sure would be nice if our class had...
We are all set for now! Thanks for all you do to support our students and classroom.
