News for the week of Oct. 7
Quarter 2 Week 2
A note from Mrs. Chern…
The kids are doing a great job taking more responsibility for their things.
They are unpacking everyday and getting packed up at the end of the day with more and more ease and less and less reminders. I knew
they could do it! :) Lots of things coming up in the next two weeks
before track out. Please make note of the Upcoming Events section.
New things made it into your child’s D.O.T. book. Assessments are in
Reading, Writing, Math and Social Studies. Science will make it in there
tomorrow along with another reading and writing tri weekly assessment.
Please check it often to see how your child is progressing. Also, the
quarterly standards document was updated. It has a Q2 in the corner to
represent Quarter 2 standards. Don’t forget to log your minutes and
books into READvolution!
This Week’s Standards…
Reading: Characters, how authors use words to show feelings, retelling, author’s message
Writing: Using a plan to write opinion, revising and editing opinion pieces
Spelling: Unit 10
Math: Building large numbers with 10 sticks and ones.
Social Studies: Learning goals for the Geography and Environmental
Science unit, different geographic representations, tools we use with
maps, different types of maps and what they show, cardinal directions
This week’s focus is: Gratitude
The reading challenge is in your child’s D.O.T. This one will carry over track out and not
be due until we track back in. It has parts for you to read with your child and for your
child to read to you. We will not do a November calendar since by the time we track in
we only have about 2 weeks. A math game was added to the back pocket. We played
this today. Hopefully it will become a family favorite on Game Night at your house.
