I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
We had a great first week back to school. All the students came back to school ready to learn.
In reading we began our Nonfiction Unit of Study. Throughout the month we will focus on reading nonfiction books. Some strategies we will work on while reading are; asking and answering questions, main idea and detail, and cause and effect.
We also began our Opinion Writing. Last week the students had to chose between two silly things (would you rather have an elephant's nose or giraffe's neck) and they had to be able to support their answer. They had a great time doing this!
This week our MCAS homework will begin going home on Monday. The student's have a week to complete the assignment. They must also continue to read for 15 minutes each night. If they have extra time they can continue to practice their multiplication facts. I am impressed with how well they are learning them!
Have a good week!
