Week of 9/13

Hi Families!  Hope your weekend was a good one!  The children are doing awesome!  I'm so proud of them!  This week will be a busy one.  Here is what it looks like:

Reading - We will continue reading the novel, Winn Dixie and working on comprehension, fluency, visualizing, and expanding our vocabulary.  The children and I are enjoying this beautiful story. :)

Spelling - Vocabulary words from Winn Dixie.....I forgot to post the words on spellingcity.com but they should have brought home a list last week.  I will post the words for sure this week.  The first test will be Thursday and the final test will be Friday.  Remember, if they make an A on the first test, they don't have to take the test on Friday.

English - More proper nouns

Math - On Monday, we will complete and go over a place value study guide.  On Tuesday, we will have a test over place value.  Please go over the study guide with your child on Monday evening to make sure they get all the concepts involved.  We will begin rounding numbers on Wednesday.  Please keep working on multiplication facts as well.  Some of the children started their speed tests last week and are doing awesome!!!

Social Studies - We will begin our Oklahoma unit.  We will begin by going over the land and regions of Oklahoma.  We will also make a salt relief map of Oklahoma! Fun! :)  Please send a ziplock bag with a salt/flour mixture. (1/2 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of salt) Please have this bag to me by Wednesday.  If anyone can mix up the dough balls for me Wednesday morning, it would be extremely helpful!!  Let me know if you can help out.

On Friday, we will be going on a field trip to the Cherokee Strip Museum to celebrate the Cherokee Strip Land Run.  It should be very fun!  We will leave school around 9:15 and get back around 10:45.

Thank you for helping us to reach our $200 goal with the Scholastic Book orders!!!!  I was able to order almost 100 books with this order and still have lots more bonus points to order more books in the coming book orders.  Thank you again!
