September 27, 2010

Happy Monday!
I am looking forward to meeting with you this week for conferences! Most of you are scheduled for Conference Day this Thursday, but there are some of you with alternate days. I sent a reminder with your child with your scheduled day/time. Please let me know if you are unable to attend so that we can reschedule.

This week we are working on the following:
Writing-We are picking a story to begin revising. The students will work with their writing buddy to polish up a story to publish.
Reading-We are continuing to read stories about traditions. We are focusing on adjectives, root words, as well as prefixes and suffixes. We also started a whole class novel, Charlotte's Web. Please remember that we will have a quiz over our vocabulary words this Friday as well as our weekly spelling test. I am also starting literacy circles this week. Your child will be reading another book with a small group of children. We will focus on reading comprehension.
Science-We are working with our science book to learn about how things move. Our focus will be on forces: motion, speed, push, pull, gravity, and weight.
Social Studies-We will conclude our unit about Florida this week.
Math-2.7 The Partial Sums Algorithm This is probably different than how you learned how to add. Ask your child to teach you how we do this. :-)
2.8 Subtraction Algorithms
2.9 Addition with Three or More Addends

Wishing you all a wonderful week!
