9/8-9/11

Happy Labor Day!  I hope you all had a fun and relaxing weekend. 
Here are the upcoming objectives and dates for the week:

*Curriculum Night on Thursday: Meet in the Cafeteria at 6:00 pm.  There will be a short meeting with Ms. Epps and then you will make your way to my classroom for a meeting with me.  I hope to see you all there!

Math: This week we are covering multiplication.  We will review with the students how to multiply by two digit numbers this week.  On Friday, there will be a test on all of the objectives we have covered so far this year.  Your child has notes in their math journals to review as well as any of the videos I have posted on my blog.  Here are two videos on multiplication: Multiplication by 1-digit numbers  Multiplication by 2-digit numbers

Reading: This week we are beginning our first Book Clubs.  The students will be assigned a book to read with their groups and required to keep up with their 'bookmarks' that focus on specific skills.  This bookmark will focus on developing questions and summarizing the text. Your kids brought home their first Spelling list Monday. Both Spelling and Wordly Wise tests are on this Friday.

Science: We are beginning our unit on Matter and its properties.  We will focus on what matter is, what it isn't, the main states of matter, and changes in states of matter.  Here are some great videos to review for Matter.  
Study Jams Science You will see scrolling topics under science.  Find the one on Matter.  The three videos I suggest are: Properties of MatterSolids Liquids Gases, and Physical and Chemical Changes in Matter.

Social Studies: We are continuing our unit on Early Explorers and also covering essential map skills, which despite technological advances, really come in good use!
