SPELLING: Look for your student's spelling pre-test to guide studying this week. The Tic Tac Toe spelling activity is VOLUNTARY, but will earn 3 extra credit percentages on the spelling test. Most students know if they are the kind of speller that needs the practice. (I know I am)
READING: Today, student will be discussing diversity and the question, "What experiences bring diverse people together? We will explore our amazing words of kindness, attention, teach and understanding. We will also discuss this week's selection vocabulary words. Find them HERE
Also, students will be setting their new AR goals. They will have folders with logs and goal sheets to use when reading AR books independently at school and at home.
WRITING: We will begin the year with a short realistic fiction piece. Today, students will chose their character and problem, then fill in their Beginning, Middle and End Story Organizer. We will begin drafting on Wednesday.
MATH: Students will review place value and participate in a math talk on the value of digits.
OTHER: Reminders for REMIND will be going out to those who have yet to sign up. Also, cursive packets for voluntary at home practice (your student actually ASKED for this, if they have one!) will go home this week.
