September Will Arrive This Week

Last week was wonderful and this week should be much the same.  We read several books about going to school and the various character traits we found in the main characters of the stories.  We also have learned a lot about expanded notation and place value models.  We watched two videos about being kind and I will post those at the bottom of this week’s post.

This year Quest hast started a STEM class that the students will have on Mondays.  Miss Rackham will be their teacher for the 30 minutes and will focus primarily on technology skills and coding.  We will reinforce the skills they learn in class.  I’m so excited the students will have this opportunity.

Homework

Spelling: This week we will have spelling homework and the entire class will be on the same sort.  Each day we will learn a new sort and then the students may practice the sort at home that night.   The sort can be downloaded here:

yellow sort 44

Reading:  Please read at least 20 minutes a night.  It’s important to read out loud for part of your reading time so that your fluency improves.  Also, we will be starting 1st grade reading buddies on Tuesday so if you have a picture book that you would like to share with your buddy, please feel free to bring it with you on Tuesday.

Math
We will not start our math homework until next week as we will be taking assessments this week that will help me know where to start you on the homework.
