Make A Difference

September

We started the year with the daily class routine and using our agenda for organization.  The agenda should be signed by a parent/guardian every night.  In addition the front inside page of the agenda needs to be filled out and signed by parent/guardian indicating the student handbook was read.   We will use Chromebooks this year and each student has a Google account.  We use the the computers in all subject areas.   In math we started place value with comparing and ordering numbers.  Each student has an account for our online math book  (www.pearsonsuccess.net)  Visit the online math book site and have your child show you about the site and his/her progress.  In English Language Arts, we discussed just right books and monitoring our thinking while we read and record our thinking.   In science we will start our study of erosion and weathering and how the earth is constantly changing next week.   In social studies we started map skills with latitude and longitude.   Homework will be given Monday-Thursday.  Please take the time to read with your child.  Your child should read for at least 20 minutes nightly.
