Reading = Guided Reading groups are working hard on their first/second books. Posted below are the groups in Team Meyer. Please ask your child about the books they are reading and continue to work on the Reading logs at home as well. This week for connections to text we thought about "being ourselves" in A Bad Case of the Stripes and how important friendships can be in The Old Woman who Named Things. This week we will be continuing connections through whole group, guided reading, and our independent reading.
Writing = This past week we wrote about memories in our lives. We also took time out to write Thank you letters to those who have done so much for us! We wrote to One Sole Purpose for our awesome new shoes (pics below)! As well as remember our ambulance personnel as we remembered 9/11. This week we are going to hear and discuss pattern books, alphabet books, and poems for writing ideas.
Math = We are working hard in Chapter 2. We end the week with reviewing the concepts we have learned so far: addition and subtraction patterns, mentally math, and estimating sums and differences. This week we will focus more on subtracting whole numbers and across zeros. We will wrap up the week with some problem solving strategies: drawing a diagram and multi-step words problems. This is a longer chapter so we will not be testing until at least early next week.
Spelling = We are going to continue to look at the words from last week. Please practice them at home...one-twenty and bonus = hundred, thousand, and million. We will be testing this Tuesday.
Health = This past week we discussed safety at home, in school, and in the community. Early this upcoming week we will be thinking about Bike Safety. Several teammates mentioned they were going to ride their bikes this weekend so I want everyone to think about how they stay safe while riding.
Highlights of the Week
Happy Birthday to Lyric and Lexi P!
We got our New Shoes this week from One Sole Purpose! Then we wrote them "thank you" letters to let them know how much we appreciate their organization! Please feel free to check our their website for more information...

Mr. Greiner talked about Mis-placed behaviors. Think about if it is the "place and time" for this behavior?
