Open House

It was great to see so many parents at Open House! I always look forward to meeting everyone and discussing ways to work together to create a positive and successful school year.

Looking back on this short, but productive week, we accomplished many things in Room 106.
In math, we finished up our lessons on Variables and Expressions. We will have a short quiz on Wednesday covering this material. Next week, we will learn about Exponents, as well as, begin our unit on decimals. To supplement the decimal unit, we will continue our "Price Is Right" activities, which will involve balancing a checkbook (adding and subtracting decimals).

In RtI this week, we continued to work on pulling out the parts of a short story and monitoring our own reading, using "Challenge" by Gary Soto. We also devoted a class period to creative writing, in which we used pictures as inspirations for our stories. Looking forward to next week, we will read the short story, "Raymond's Run" and focus on the main idea and its correlating details.

Have a great weekend!
