Language Arts:
We will continue reading stories from Unit 1 where the theme is Sharing Stories. We will be learning about the author's point of view. Later in the month we will begin Unit 2. The theme for Unit 2 is Kindness. One skill we will work on with this unit is drawing conclusions. Students will learn about adjectives. We will continue working on sentence structure as we learn about the parts of a sentence. We would like the students to work on writing strong sentences and be able to identify the different parts of speech in sentences. This month we will also focus on plural spelling rules.
Math:
For math, we will be wrapping up Chapter 1: Apply Addition and Subtraction Concepts. We plan to have an assessment the week of September 8th. We will then move on to Chapter 2: Number Patterns. We plan to take the Chapter 2 math test on Friday, September 26th. We encourage students to use the math pages that we send home (pages that were completed in class) as well as the homework for extra practice.
Social Studies:
Students will work on map skills. We will then begin Unit 1-Long Ago and Yesterday. Students will be given their "Me Doll" assignment. This assignment will be sent home in the next couple of weeks!
Announcements/Reminders:
Please make sure that your child returns their communication folder EVERY Monday (or Tuesday if there is no school on Monday). It is so incredibly important that we have these returned on time.
