Week of Tuesday, September 4th

Happy Labor Day weekend!  It can be tough getting back into a routine, so a 3 day weekend will be nice for all of us! Hope you enjoy yours!!  Here is what we will be doing next week:

Language Arts:
    Reading - Finish Mouse and the Motorcycle and check for comprehension
    English - Plurals
    Spelling - Long /e/ patterns (Remember, my spelling lists are on spellingcity.com)
    Writing - Personal Journals (We only had time this past week to do journals once, so this week we will make sure to do better!)

Math: Place Value, Comparing and Ordering, Rounding

Social Studies: Maps including grids, road maps, product, and weather maps

Science: We will look at 2 more biomes and then begin researching an animal from one of the studied biomes.  We will begin an animal report which will count as an English grade as well.

Look for Scholastic Book orders to come home next week.  We will only be able to order online this year.  I will send home a letter about it.  It is actually pretty easy.  I had parents in prior years actually prefer to order online even when they had the option of paying by check or cash. 

Don't forget to allow your children to bring water and a snack.  They get very hungry in the afternoon, since they eat so early this year. It is fuel for the brain and really helps with stamina to end our day with as much work ethic as when we began! Ha!
