Classroom Chatter
Scholastic book order forms will come home today (Friday). The due date is Friday, 9/16. Attached to the orders will be a pink information sheet on how to order books online. (We get a free book for the classroom every time a parent places and order online AND it is so much easier for me to place orders!) I strongly encourage you to try online ordering. It is safe and secure. Please know you may still send a check and the paper order to school with your child in an envelope as well and I will enter the orders online! Thanks in advance for your orders! Great books to buy for 20 minutes of reading!
Spelling
L. 3 words are short vowel words. Pretest Monday. The test is Friday. Homework will be due Friday.
English
We will learn about subjects and predicates.
Reading
Next week we will continue to teach the students how to utilize the essential reading strategies. In our classes we will demonstrate how the application of these strategies will maximize student comprehension of a range of literary materials.
Science
We spent last week getting to know our text book with some "textbook mapping" activities. This week, we will begin chapter 4, lesson 1 on ecosystems.
Social Studies
We will continue our study of map skills and learn about the continents and oceans of our world!
Mrs. Csorba's Math Class:
TUESDAY (no math Monday due to Magazine Kick off Assembly) we will take our first mad minute (aka timed test) in addition facts. Students will have 2 minutes to answer 40 basic math facts. If they do not earn 100%, they will have Wednesday and Friday to try again. We also will be taking our first "Check Your Progress" on Tuesday. (I know it says "Monday" in assignment books. I forgot about No Math on Monday). These CYP's are graded assignments. Students are allowed and encouraged to use their "notes" we took in their journals and math text books. For this 1st CYP, I will "guide" them and show them how to look at their textbook and notes for help, if needed. They are usually 20 questions. Please review lessons 1, 3, and 4 (pages 36, 40, and 42) if your child wants to prepare. The problems on the CYP look like the practice problems in the textbook or the workbook pages. Remember there are no retakes on graded work.
We will spend the rest of the week continuing in chapter 1 working with numbers.
