Breaking News from our classroom
Dear Parents,
I would like to start scheduling conferences for this nine weeks. I am open for meeting on Monday and Wednesday from 3-3:30pm and on Thursday from 3:00-4:30pm most days. Please contact me with a date and time that we could meet. If these times do not work for your schedule, please send me what works for you and I will try to arrange something.
Also, I would like to have a fall cookout on a Sat in Oct. from 2-4pm for the students and parents. If you would be able to come please let me know if there is a particular Sat that works best for you and your family.
This week students will begin working on their POW math problem of the week. Each night they will have to complete a part of the problem. It is due to me on Friday. We have worked on one together as a class, so they have the steps written in their POW notebook to use as an example.
Weekly Studies
We are continuing to study SC regions this week in social studies. We will begin studying Native Americans later this week and into next week. We will retake our social studies quizzes next Tuesday. Students should study their "Journey through South Carolina" booklet that we are making this week.
In math this week, we are working on adding whole numbers, grouping in tens, and rounding. Students will be taking a place value test this week on Friday. We have been working on place value for several weeks. Students will have to tell the place and value of a digit. They will have to write word form, standard form, and expanded form for a given number.
We are working on folktales during reading and personal stories during writing. Students will begin meeting with me this week for word study.
Please remember to contact me if you have any questions or concerns
