New post... finally!!

I'm sorry that it has taken so long to put up a new post!  Points of interest:

 

Math: We tested over Measurement, Time, and Temperature.  We are now in a unit on Measurement.  Time will fly with each math unit!  We will do a lesson a day.  We are also pre-testing for each unit to appropriately group students.  We will be focusing a lot on vocabulary.  Students should be practicing basic facts at home, while we continue to do Rocket Math at school.  There is math homework almost daily.

Writing: We have been reviewing and diagramming the parts of a sentence: subjects, predicates, subject describers, and predicate expanders.  We will begin to work on types of paragraphs.

Anthology: We have learned vocabulary, built background, read, and done comprehension activities for Akiak and Grandfather's Journey.  Ask your child to summarize these stories.  Also, we will have a spelling test every week (except for a few odd weeks here and there).  Your child is assigned spelling homework a couple times a week and tested at the end. 

Guided Reading: Each group has been working on reading while using specific strategies, such as predicting.  During independent time, students are reading chapter books, writing in a journal, reviewing cursive, and reading other content related to content themes (ex. Iowa History).


Social Studies: We are wrapping up our unit on Iowa History.  Students really enjoyed our Farm to Table field trip.  See the pictures below.  We will be taking another field trip on October 7 to Living History Farms.  Ask your child what they have learned about Iowa History!
