Update - Week of September 23-27

We have had another busy week.  

This week in Math we completed our unit on Representing Whole Numbers with a quiz.  We then began Skip Counting forwards and backwards.

​Learning Goals of this Unit include:
- Recognize skip-counting patterns when counting forward using a variety of skip sizes (1s, 2s, 5s, 10s and 25s). 
- Recognize skip-counting patterns when counting backwards using a variety of skip sizes (1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s).

We are working on an Art activity for the Thanksgiving Mass next week.

In Language we have been working on writing Recounts.  We wrote a recount about our Summer as well as our weekends (on Monday).  Most Mondays we will write about what we did on the weekend.  You can help your child by talking about: who, what, where, when, why, as well as putting events in order using words: first, next, then, after that, and finally.  We are also focusing on reading passages and learning strategies about how to answer multiple choice questions and short answers.  

We began an Art activity focusing on Fall leaves and lines.

This week we have Rocks and Rings in the gym on Tuesday & Friday.  Our usual gym days are Tuesday and Friday, so this week our gym will be going to the Rocks and Rings sessions.

Learning Commons (library) day will be Tuesday.  The week of September 23 is LC orientation. The week of September 30, we will begin book exchange.

Thank you for taking the time to fill out all the forms that were sent home! Swim to Survive Information and Forms will be sent home today.
