Weekly Update 9/2/2012

Wow! What a fabulous first week! I am very excited to be teaching such a fun and sweet group of students. We spent time our first week describing what makes each of us important, building community through teamwork, and practicing expectations. We are off to a super start!

This week will be busy getting into the curriculum. Monday will begin with a spelling pre-test. Student's will discover which words they already can spell and which words need more practice. A spelling menu will be on the back of this week's words. Students must choose 3 activities to complete and turn in on Friday. Also, our spelling test will be Friday. Words are posted on my spelling city page.

In addition, students must read at least 20 minutes five times per week. Please document this on their reading log. Math homework will go home nightly and is due the following day. If students do not turn in homework, they will stay in during recess to complete missing assignments.

Communication Arts:
Story: Boom Town

Math:
Unit 1: Understanding Place Value

 Social Studies:
Strong Kids: Emotional Strength Training

I look forward to another wonderful week!

Love,
Ms. Senecal
