Welcome Back

Welcome back and thank you all for attending Open House, I know how busy everyone is.  We are off to a great start and the students are ready to go. I will give you a run down on what we will cover this week.

Spelling-long /short vowel spelling patterns. New words are few, those, always, show and large.

Math-Review with Math Rap daily. Students will recognize and show numbers up to 10,000. We will have a chapter test on Unit 1, Tuesday and then begin chapter 3 with the properties of addition.

Guided Reading and Writing-For the 1st nine weeks students will read and comprehend traditional literature, and share their opinion of what they have read by writing a response to literature. This week we will work on how to summarize books we have read. Next students will identify the elements of fiction on a story map and plot line.

Social Studies- We will continue learning how Ancient Greece helped shape the U.S. This week we will discuss how democracy began and how the U.S. chooses leaders  and votes on laws.

Guidance-Mrs. Britton will meet with our class Tuesday 1:30 to 2:00.

A few reminders for you. We are collecting Box Tops, so send in any you have. Also,our Fun Run will be on October 3rd during the Fall Festival. If we have the most students register to run, we can win a pizza party! If a student registers 6 corporate sponsors, they will win an Xbox/Wii/DS game of their choice, so be thinking about that.

As always, if you have any questions or need anything, please let me know.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Mrs. Brown
