September 2nd-5th

Hey Superheroes!

Welcome back after a LOOOOONNNNGGGG weekend =D I needed to sleep and hang out with my family! I hope you all were able to do some random acts of kindness while you were at home!

This week:

Vocabulary Test-Thursday
Spelling Test-Friday
Lesson Assessment-Monday

Mon-Thurs=Check your homework checklist to see what you have to do!

You need to read the story every night! There is also a page/section for Math, Vocabulary, Spelling, and a chart for Fluency.

This is to help YOU! If you have other ways to study for Vocabulary/Spelling-that is GREAT! You do what works for your child. I just wanted to give you resources-just in case you wanted to try something different or did not know where to start! This will also help you to know where your child is in our classroom. The homework is a review of what we are doing daily in class. If your child is struggling-you will know the area and can give that area extra attention at home!

We took a Math test last week and we will ALL be doing some in class activities to make up some of those grades! We will be working on reading word problems MORE CAREFULLY! I feel like that was a big reason why many students missed these problems!! Encourage them to slow down and read carefully!

Adding Doubles 4+4=8; 2+2=4; 8+8=16

We will use ten frames, part-part-whole boxes, number lines, and mental math strategies to solve these addition facts!
