September News!

We will soon be changing from Schoolnotes to a different format. Please continue to check in for this information.

Math

We are implementing a new math program this year, Math Investigations. We are finishing up our study of division. Don't forget your child should know their multiplication tables.

Reading

Research shows that we improve our reading ability by reading on a consistent basis. Your child should be reading at least 20 minutes a night. Students in my reading class will have a reading activity each week. The due date and the type of activity will be listed in your child's Planner.

Reading Counts will be done differently this year. It will be used as an assessment tool only. We want to build a love of reading in all our students. In partnership with the PTO we will have Reading Celebrations planned throughout the year.

SPELLING

All the students in my reading class will have spelling or Wordly Wise on a weekly basis. Please check their Planners for more information. We are using the website Spelling City to practice our spelling words. This is the link: http://www.spellingcity.com/Community.html

SCIENCE

In science we are studying the ecosystem. The link below gives a lot of good information about our unit of study.

SOCIAL STUDIES

Students have learned the New England states. During our study of government we will be learning the Preamble. Students will have to say the Preamble aloud to me without notes
