September 21-25

Spelling went very well last week! I know a few of you are still confused with the spelling sorts. Please read the green papers I have sent home; these include step by step directions for each sort. Parents- feel free to keep asking questions; I promise it will get easier!

I hope everybody was able to enjoy the rodeo last weekend! On Thursday we had an exciting assembly with the Rodeo Queens and the clowns! Also, Reflection packets were sent home last week. If any students are interested in participating, turn in your entry form and media release form to either me or the office. The projects are due October 23rd.

I'm hoping Take-Home Library gets started today, Monday! Look for books coming home this week!

Reading: Last week we starting Guided Reading groups. During centers, it is my time to pull back kids in small groups based on their reading level. The students have been doing great and they're motivated to work hard with their reading.

Math: We will be finishing up Topic 2 and taking the test this week. We are starting Math Camp this week on Patterns.

This week's math focus:
- Create number stories with a given answer and complete the related number facts.
- Understand the relationship between addition and subtraction.
- Interpret, analyze, and represent data in a graph.
- Recognize length, capacity, and weight.
- Measure length with nonstandard units.
