Picture Day is coming! Lower Division children will have their photos taken in the Student Activity Center on Tuesday, September 14th. Please make sure they are dressed appropriately when they come to school. The children's picture will be taken prior to recess and lunch on that day.
The children are coming home with their spelling words this week. These spelling words not only have a sound pattern, but they also relate to the stories that we will read in our reading books. Please make sure they take the practice test tonight with you so they can focus on only the words that they may experience some difficulty for the rest of the week.
I am sending home a geography project with your child tomorrow. If you have questions after reading the project requirements, please don't hesitate to email me. Please make sure you sign the bottom portion of the letter and send just that portion back as your child will need the rest of the letter to complete the project correctly.
This week we will study common and proper nouns, review base words, prefixes, suffixes and continue our study of the Wordly Wise words. These words for this lesson are: cylinder, examine, fatal, feature, grasp, jet, marine, scar, tentacle, and vessel. There will be a quiz on these words on Friday.
We will continue with number patterns, equivalent names using name-collection boxes, and introduce the language of number chances.. ie. certain, uncertain.. high probability, low probability of things happening. We will conclude the week by using a number grid to find differences in numbers and working on calculator routines.
We are also learning about The Scientific Method in science and more about Florida in social studies.
Wishing you all a wonderful week!
