Good Afternoon Families of Room 2!
Listed below are the important reminders and objectives for our week.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

Important Reminders:

• This Friday there is no school!
• Picture Day is September 28th!

Weekly Objectives:

Writing:  This week we will peer edit our narrative piece and work on punctuating dialogue correctly.  We will then begin publishing our pieces!  The students have worked so hard on making their piece the best it can be, I am so proud of them!

Reading: During reader's workshop we will continue building our reading lives by working on ways to "talk back" to the text.  We will finish our first reading unit on Thursday and we will celebrate by watching the movie "Stone Fox".  This is the mentor text that we have been studying throughout the unit.

Social Studies:  We will finish up first social studies unit: neighborhoods and communities.  Last week we discussed the multiple types of neighborhoods as well as how to read a map.  Our test for this chapter will be Tuesday the 20th.  Study guides were sent home on Friday last week.

Math:  This week we will continue Chapter 2: Place Value.  We will focus on adding four digit numbers and continue to work on problem-solving skills with word problems.  The test for this chapter will be on Thursday the 22nd.  Study guides will be sent home on Monday.  Attached to the study guide is an answer key so students can use the study guides to practice at home!

Have a great week!
