News for the week of Aug. 26
Quarter 1 Week 5
A note from Mrs. Chern…
We are tracked back in and settling in nicely. We have two new
friends joining our classroom. Welcome to William and Madeline.
Jacob moved and will joining his new class this week at River Bend
Elementary. Thank you to all who have donated funds for the Apex
Fun Run. This is one of Brassfield’s biggest fund raisers.
This Week’s Standards…
Reading: What is nonfiction/expository reading? What is the
purpose? What do we have to retell?
Writing: Writing Conventions: Capitalization, punctuation, spelling
strategies. Editing.
Spelling: Unit 5
Math: Strategies for adding numbers, word problems (add to-result
unknown)
Social Studies: Conflict resolution strategies.
This week’s focus is: Being Present
Just a reminder that homework is optional this year. Math will come
home periodically as it comes up in the curriculum. There is a
monthly reading challenge that is due the last day of the month. This
month is the popsicle challenge of reading 20 fiction books and
retelling settings, characters, beginning, middle, end and the author’s message. Again,
this is not required so if your child does participate I have a special treat for them on
Aug. 30th.
