September 8 - 11

We've had a busy week with students, meeting in small groups for math and Istation instruction. Students enjoyed the story "The Invisible Boy" and learning how the author uses both text and illustrations to bring meaning to the characters. In math students learned how to take on online quiz and manipulate objects on Google Slides.

*Please make sure students have the following supplies near their work area during the school day:

      Composition books -  Word Work, Math, Writing Journal, and Math Binder with hole punched math pages from Wake County

Next week at a glance:

Letterland: Unit 3 includes double consonants and ing endings. There will be daily activities in the Word Work Journal as well as Kids A to Z spelling practice. Please make sure students take the spelling pretest and the final spelling test at the end of the week. 

EL - Unit 1 School and Community 

We will continue evaluating "The Invisible Boy" and discussing how the main character feels throughout the story.  Follow up activities will be in their journals and in the Google Classroom. 

Math - In math we will be looking at different strategies to add and subtract within 20. The strategies we will be using are making ten, counting on, relating addition to subtraction, and doubles. Please make sure students have their math pages in their binders for asynchronous time. 

Science -  We will continue with our study of our sound unit. Vocabulary that they will learn to use includes, vibration, pitch and volume. Students will be given a project at the end of the week to build an instrument at home. They will be using recycled materials to create the project. Additional supplies will not be needed. 

Thanks for all your support and have a great weekend!
