Week 7 September 21-25


September 21, 2015

Dear Families,

I hoped everyone enjoyed their weekend! Remember to read the blog every Monday to know what is happening for the week!


We will have our first show-and-tell this week. It will be on Friday, September 25, 2015. If you get memo on Thursday, your child is chosen for that week and will bring something in the next day. If your child is chosen, please allow your child to bring one item that is special to him/her and would like to share it with the class. There will only be 1 or 2 students chosen for each Friday.



This week, your child will inquire into the following:

Language Arts

Working With Words Students will be reviewing the word wall words we have studied up to this point through various activities and chants. The spelling challenge will be on Friday.   

New Vocabulary: will, up, other, about, out



Reading: We will be reading materials regarding different landforms and bodies of water. This will be carried over to Social Studies as well. 

Vocabulary: Mountain, Hill, Valley, Plain, Plateau, River, Lake, Pond, Ocean, Island 


Writing: Your child will continue writing the opinion piece regarding the activities he/she has done with his/her family over the long weekend. They will introduce the topic they are writing about, supply reasons for the opinion and provide some sense of closure.


Math: For this week’s math, we will continue working with subtraction. We will also be introducing bar models. There are IXL skills I have added to the bottom of the blog. Your child is NOT required to do them. However, it’s a wonderful way to get some extra practice.


Social Studies: We will be learning about landforms and bodies of water.
