What we're learning this week...

Our reading focus is point of view.  We will be learning how and why authors write from different points of view, i.e., 1st person, 3rd person.

Grammar will highlight singular and plural verbs as well as verb tenses; past, present, and future.

The kids will be finishing up their personal narratives by editing, publishing, and illustrating their small moment stories.

Our first unit in math is wrapping up this week and children will be taking their post assessments.  It is hard, but they can do it!!

Make sure to talk to your children about what they've talked about and discussed at school.  If they can explain it accurately to you, it will help them further understand.

Watch for upcoming pictures of students working in the classroom.  They are excited to see themselves on the website!

Picture day! Tuesday, October 13, 2015

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is school picture day.  Don't worry....I'll make sure everyone's hair is combed, braided, and set!

Schedule change...

After 4 weeks of reflecting time I've decided to change our ELA instruction to the mornings.  We now have math at 1:00 daily.  Our daily schedule was posted in the PowerPoint Open House presentation and I wanted to make everyone aware of the change.  So far, it's going great!
