Welcome Back-I hope you all had a great 3 day weekend. Now that we have the start of school behind us, we are ready to start with all academic areas this week.
Our objectives/goals for the week are:
Math-we are starting place value and working with large numbers up into the millions. We will not only be able to say & write them, but to put them into expanded and word form as well. Also, we will be working hard on the "value" of the digits.
Reading/Lead 21: We will be taking our Group Placement test on Tues. & Wednesday to see what level we will be in for Lead 21. Also, this week we will be reading a Read-A-Loud chapter book and working on the strategies of predicting & summarizing.
Language: We will be learning the 4 types of sentences as well as starting parts of speech.
Spelling: Unit 1 word list will come home on Tuesday so study for test on Friday.
Montana History: We started this on Friday by students writing down all they know about Montana. I saw some good, interesting facts, but also got to see that they will be excited to learn many new, cool things about our magnificent state. They are actually going to have a journal of information to take with them at the end of the year. These are pretty amazing!!!!
Social Studies: We start out the year working with map skills like the continents, hemispheres, latitude/longitude, etc.
Science: We are going to start with fun experiment on Tuesday to introduce the Scientific Process. After that we are going to be learning about hurricanes.
Please make sure you get those getting to know you forms back by to me by Tuesday. Thank you.
Looking forward to a great week with lots of learning going on. Make sure you read this blog daily to keep up with our daily classroom happenings.
