October Class News

Math

    We have slowed ourselves a bit due to MEAP (yippee) so homework will resume very soon. Keep an eye open for homelink papers.
Our class is beginning Unit 2. This unit has an emphasis on using addition in a
number of different life applications. We also will be tackling the imfamous "Story Problems!" (A parent favorite I know!)
 

Social Studies

     Our emphasis is now on why communities begin where they do. We will also talk about resources, man-made vs. natural features, uses of water resources, etc.
 
Language Arts

       We have working with Nouns and Verbs. This is to lay the ground work for writing complete sentences. I will be emphasizing a lot of writing in class this year due to the importance of good communication skills. I hope to see a vast improvement this year in writing from my students and encourage you to work at home on handwriting and sentence structure.
 
Science

      See Mrs. Oliver's Web site for details on science.
