These are some hot days we are having in September! Even though it is very toasty in the classroom, the students are working very hard. A note has been sent home that the Grandparent's Day Ice Cream Social has been postponed until Monday, September 16th. I am still really looking forward to meeting many grandparents on this day!

This Week

English: We will be finishing up our unit on sentences. I will be sending a note home with some information about the upcoming test. I am planning to have the test on Friday of this week.

Writing: We are learning how to write with the 5 W's (who, what, where, why, when).

Math: In math we will be playing a multiplication concept game. It teaches kids to understand how to count things that come in groups. We will also learn to read a thermometer to the nearest 10 degrees Fahrenheit, round numbers to the nearest 10, use logical reasoning to solve a problem, work backward to solve a problem, and name and draw polygons.

Reading: We will be reading a realistic fiction story called, Allie's Basketball Dream. We will also review the narrative elements, work on summarizing parts of a story, and practice using a dictionary.

Science: We will be learning about different types of animals.

Social Studies: We will be discussing how people get along in a community.
