September 23 - October 4

It seems that all the students had a nice four-day weekend and everyone was ready to come back for a full week of school this week. I would like to thank the parents for signing the homework books and tests each day.

In Math this week we completed Chapter 2, Addition Strategies and have started Chapter 3, Subtraction Strategies. Students should have brought home all the Chapter 2 worksheets and returned the signed test to the class.

For English this week we continued working on Unit, 1 The Sentence. Next week we will complete this unit, take a quiz and then start Unit 2, Writing a Personal Narrative.

In Reading this week we read two stories about hippos (non-fiction and fiction) and compared the two. Next week we will focus on Poetry, reading different types of poems and practicing writing our own poems.

In Social Studies we continued with Unit 1, Governing the People. This included a writing project where students imagined they were the president of their own country and they had to think of laws and consequences for their citizens to follow. Some of the responses were funny and creative. Next week we will continue with this unit.

In Science next week we will start Chapter 2, Animals are Living Things.

Congratulations to Hyeon Jeon for being this week's Student of the Week! Hyeon is new to this school this year and has made big improvements in his readiness for class and understanding of classroom routines. Keep up the hard work, Hyeon!
