Hello Families of Room 22,
Announcements:
Math Packet: I have had several students ask me when to turn in their math packet. I apologize that this has not been very clear. The best time is at the end of the topic which, for Topic 5, will be this Thursday.
I will try to let you know when we will be finishing up with Topic 6 as well.
Birthdays: There are a few students who have birthdays that fall during the summer break. We would like to celebrate their special day in class. I will be emailing a date for your son or daughter to celebrate their “half birthday” in class over the next couple of months.
Learning This Week:
Language & Grammar: We will be learning about contractions with “is”.
Spelling: We will be studying words with a long i, (spelled /igh/). Our sight words are: number, no, way, could, and people.
Math: We will be finishing Topic 5, Addition Facts to 20.
Writing: We will continue non-fiction/“information” writing about Polar Bears. We are learning how to write our “fact” in a sentence. We will also be writing about Martin Luther King.
Reading/Daily 5: Students will “read to self”, “read to someone”,“listen to read”, “word work” or “write”
each morning.
Social Studies: We will finish Chapter 9, What is a Map?
