Dear Parents,
The last week of our first quarter has arrived. We have accomplished so much, and I look forward to everything they will accomplish in the coming months as well. We have discussed perseverance frequently this quarter. Our scholars have persevered every day during the things that may seem hard in school, and I am so proud of them. Next week, we will move from double and triple digit addition and subtraction without renaming to beginning to break apart tens and hundreds to regroup numbers. It is important to remember we will not be using the words “borrow” or “carry.” I will send home another cheat sheet to display how we will be teaching the students to regroup, so you can be using the same vocabulary and strategies at home. After finishing Charlotte’s Web, we will now begin to read Boxcar Children. I will be returning the students’ Charlotte’s Web books in the coming week. If you have not purchased and sent in a copy of Boxcar Children with your scholar yet, please be sure to do so. If you have already done so, I will be passing those out to your scholar this week. Our water cycle and cloud unit will be coming to a close this week. There will be a final test on Thursday and a review on Wednesday. As we look closer at the types of clouds, it would be fun for you and your scholar to go outside and try to identify some of the different types of clouds you both see (especially if a storm is coming). Please attend our upcoming Singapore Math informational night on October 7th at 6:30. If you have had any questions with the way math has been taught or where we are headed, this is a night for you! Please continue to study your phonograms every night. I have seen improvement, and it is greatly helping our readers. Also, please remember that Friday, October 9th, we do not have school. I hope you all have a wonderful last week and safe fall break. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected]. I am looking forward to a fantastic last week of our first quarter!
