Happy Fall Everyone! The weather is getting chillier and the colors on the trees are getting brighter. We have been very busy in Room 102. We reviewed and took our Unit 1 Math test and I will be sending these home on Tues. 10/14 for you to review but please return them so that they can be part of your child's portfolio. We have begun Unit 2 which is all about practicing addition and subtraction. You may see your child doing addition in a new way. Please encourage them to find what works for them rather than trying to teach them the way you learned it. We are working on personal narratives in writing and we will be choosing one of our many stories that we have started and we will be publishing them after we have revised and edited. These students really enjoy writing and we have some budding authors! In reading we are working on making mental movies and enhancing them so that we can really understand the characters and the story. This coming week we will be working with reading partners and creating a Book Buzz! In social studies we have been concentrating on mapping. We have been learning about our continents, our town and our state. We just completed a map of Maine. We will be having a test on some of the key components of our state in then next few weeks! Look for a practice map coming home! That's all for now. Don't forget about Wake Up and Read every Wednesday starting this Wednesday, Oct. 15th from 7:45-8:30! It's a good way to practice reading. Also your child should be reading 20 minutes every night. Please make sure to sign their log after they have read.
We also have Wake up and Walk every Friday in October from 7:45-8:30 am on the track on the back field. Please make sure to check out CRES weekly flyers on line. And as always, if you have any questions or comments feel free to call or email me. I am enjoying every day being with your wonderful children. Have a great long weekend!!
