September 8th

Wow! We are off to a great start.

In math, we have been looking at properties of multiplication such as commutative property and identity property. We have gotten started with Rocket Math so that we can begin to practice our facts. We'll have our first real timing tomorrow!! Your child has had three nights of math homework. Be sure to check that agenda to see if it's been assigned and done!

In reading, we have really spent time learning to choose "Just Right" books for ourselves and working to read for an extended period of time. Your child hopefully develop stamina for more complex books as the year goes on!

In science, we have begun to study the planets. Ask your child if they can say the names of all the planets in order. - My very educated mother...

In writing, we have begun writing a descriptive piece about someone or something that is important to us. We are trying to craft a beginning and ending that tie the piece together.

In language, we have been looking at capitalization rules and editing our work to capitalize more carefully.

Hope to see you all Friday. If you haven't sent back the RSVP, please do so!
