What a hot first week! Today was especially hot and we were wilting this afternoon. We were so happy when our administrators got popsicles for everyone!

 I hope the first week went well for your child. We have spent a lot of time learning routines, finding where we're going, practicing opening lockers, and meeting new people. Team-building activities have been part of this and we will continue to do these off an on.

MATH
 We will begin getting into our first math unit, Adding and Subtracting Fractions. I will begin doing math in small group rotations in a couple weeks.
 
Homework: Your child has some math homework this weekend that is due Monday

Reading an average of 20 minutes per day is also homework throughout the year. 

Book Project Homework: Your child will be reading a chapter book (they may read this at home and school). Monday they will receive the materials for the "Sandwich Book Report". This is to be done at home and due September 29th.

Language Arts
We began writing a piece titled, "What I Didn't Get to do this Summer" for a little change of pace from the usual. In reading we will be reading texts associated with our Comprehension Toolkit and reviewing/practicing comprehension strategies.

Next week your child will be taking the Delta, Dibels, and SRI Tests.

Science
Our first science unit - Forces and Motion-begins Monday.
