Reading  = Team Meyer did a wonderful job setting goals for reading last week!  They are getting in their reading log routine and settling in our classroom while reading.  This week we will be setting up our reading notebooks.  This will stay at school with them and be used throughout the year.  We also will practice some strategies together and prepare for guided reading groups 

Writing = This week we will begin our Write Steps curriculum.  We will be comparing pizza to the 6 traits of writing: Ideas, Organization, Voice, Sentence Fluency, and Word Choice.  Pizza may sound silly, but hopefully they will be able to come home and describe it to you.  We will use this analogy throughout the year.

Math = Nice Job on our 1st Math test last week!  Please sign and return this test with your child.  Last week we began our Addition and Subtraction chapter.  This week we will continue working in this chapter by estimating sums and differences, adding and subtracting whole numbers, and subtracting across zeros.

Spelling = This week we will continue our Spelling routines with a whole group list with commonly used words.  We are going to work with the days of the week again because we need more practice with them.  Along with those words we are going to have some commonly misspelled words.

Content = We will continue to think about Digital Citizenship.  It is important that we teach our kids how to use technology properly and in the most appropriate ways.

PBL= This week we will be selecting groups and the focuses for them as well.  We also look forward to another guest speaker.  check out the pictures from Mrs. Smart visiting last week.
