Thanks to the Foundation for our new Apple TV! The students and I will now be able to share everything from the IPads on to our ActivBoard. I'm very excited about all the possibilities. Mrs. Dean is coming to our room next week to teach us how to use the app Flick to share ideas. It is a great way to increase student engagement! Thanks for your support of the foundation, so we have this great resource.
Thanks, too, for helping your child walk to school this week! We had 82% of the children walk! What a great way to start the day. REMINDERS: Permission Slips for our field trip to the Tellus Museum will come home soon. Please return those as soon as you can. Also coming home today are directions for an October book report due Oct. 28. Students will have a chance to look for their mystery book at school. Please check with them to make sure they have one and get started reading right away. Next Week: Reading - We are beginning our novel study Because of Winn Dixie. I will read it during our read aloud and then we will use the chapters in our shared reading lessons.The first lessons will help students identify a character's trait by what they say, their feelings, and their actions. Writing - We will continue to learn about nouns and pronouns and have fun using the laptops to type the narratives. Look forward to seeing them in the hallway during conferences. Math - Exploring division will be the main focus this week. Students will learn several strategies - repeated subtraction, number line, and fact families to help them thoroughly understand the concept. Social Studies - It's time for some economics as students learn about consumers, producers, goods, and services. I hope you all have a great weekend!
