Week of August 25th

I can't believe we are already starting the third week of school!! So far our year has been great - the kids have been so sweet and eager to learn!

This week we will...

...continue reading Island of the Blue Dolphins. The class will have their first quiz on chapters 1-10 this Wednesday.

...continue Chapter 1 in our Social Studies unit. We're learning all about the regions of California and working on our map-reading skills.

...start our first Writer's Workshop project. Students will be writing about a "Memorable Moment" from their own life. We'll be focusing on the writing process, as well as writing a clear beginning, middle, and end to their stories.

...have our first visit to the school library. Our library time this year will be Fridays at 9:15.

...get ready for Back-to-School Night!! I'm looking forward to seeing all of you parents this Wednesday at 6:30. Remember, this is a Parents-Only event. It is an opportunity for me to explain how our classroom runs and to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
