September 9th-September 13th

Students have all worked really hard this week to begin the MAPs testing!  Some students will still be finishing up the first two days of the week so be sure to eat a healthy breakfast and get a good nights rest!

Here is a look at next week's lessons...
*Math: Students will begin to complete their Daily Oral Math first thing each morning.  This will continue to be the routine for the remainder of the school year.  We will continue to focus on money this week and practice adding and subtracting decimals/money values.
*Reading: This week we will be incorporating the story elements into our writing.  Students will begin using a graphic organizer to create the characters, setting, plot, problem, and solution for their own stories.  They will use class time during the remainder of the week to write their stories in paragraph form.  Students will have the option to write either a fiction or nonfiction story.
*Language Arts: Students will choose a new story for Read Naturally and work using this story all week.  Students will also receive a new set of spelling words.
*7/8 Social Studies:  We will be putting the map skills we learned last week into practice this coming week.  Using a map of the school, we will be completing, and then creating our own, scavenger hunt!

*Reminders*
Wednesday, September 11th from 7-9pm


Have a great weekend!
