September 6th-9th

Hello 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:

• Book orders are due Tuesday, September 13th!
• Don't forget your child may bring in a snack and water bottle!

Weekly Objectives:

Writing:  This week we will choose one entry from our collection of narrative pieces that we will develop into a finished piece.  We will study multiple leads that we can try on our stories as well as storytelling our pieces in order to develop more details!

Reading: During reader's workshop we will continue building our reading lives by making higher-level predictions about our texts.  We will also focus on retelling our texts in order to begin discussions about what we are reading.

Science:  We are going to continue our first science chapter (Chapter 3) and we will focus on the life cycle of plants.  The test for this chapter will be this Thursday the 8th.  The study guide was sent home last Friday in order to get an early start on studying!

Math:  This week we will continue Chapter 1: Place Value.  We will work on using the "CUBES" strategy when solving word problems as well as reviewing for our test which will be this Friday the 9th.  The study guide will be going home with your child on Tuesday!  It is already filled out but please review the questions with your child.  We will be playing a review game on Thursday that uses the questions from the study guide!

Have a great week!
