We had a great start to our week today! This morning, we looked up our memory verse for the week and started Chapter 2 in Math: Add to Solve Problems. I shared a book called Math-terpieces to get us thinking about addition.
In Social Studies, I told the students that we won't add another region this week. Students may retake last week's quiz over the West, Southwest, and Midwest states on Thursday. I showed the students this website for practicing identifying the states: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/USA_Geography/USA_G0_click_1024.html'
They can choose the region they want to be quizzed on. Feel free to find other websites or ways to study the states at home! We also practiced using a map grid.
The students used their reading logs to record how many picture books and chapter books they read in the month of September. They also recorded how many books in each genre they read last month. Your child is bringing home their literacy binder. I would like you to look through it with them so you can see the kinds of things we have been doing with it. Take a look at their reading log as well. Some students haven't recorded many (if any) books that they finished in their reading log. They should take the time tonight to fill it in if they forgot to record some books that they finished. In the Reading Log section, there is a page of reading goal ideas. I would like you to talk with your child about what a good goal for them would be. They should be prepared to share their goal with me on Wednesday.
In Science, the students thinned and transplanted their plants so they have only four plants in their quad. They pulled out an extra plant to draw, label, and write observations about. Thank you to the parents who helped out!
Homework for today is...
Finish personal narrative (only some students need to finish revising)
Set reading goal
