Greetings to all on this beautiful day. While thoughts are somber, I know how lucky I am to live in the United States and work with an outstanding group of students and parents.
Curriculum connections:
Math: We will complete chapter two this week on ordering, comparing, and rounding numbers. As estimation is one of our current math standards, rounding is a critical component. We will continue to practice this week, but you may wish to review this concept with your student.
Social Studies: We will begin a unit on Ancient Greece, examining the roots of our democracy and Greek influence on architecture and modern day Olympics. Please contact me if you have personal connections that you would like to share with the class.
Language Arts: We continue to work on grammar skills and reading strategies. Literature circle roles will defined. By the end of this week, your students should have at least 4 points in reading.
Just as an FYI, I will be out for the week of Sept. 19-25. Our students will be in great hands with Mrs. Kathy Druhot, a retired Cobb County teacher. As a "math" lover, she contributes extension math activities connected to literature. The kids will enjoy the week.
Remember: Friday, Sept. 16 is Picture Day! Packets will be coming home later in the week.
Enjoy your week.
