Week 2 (8/25) Into the Groove!

 By Class bloggers Pierce and Nick:

This week me and my classmates finished our first diagnostic in math and we did a play called dragon dragon in literature. It was so fun we even got to bring props. We also had our first English quiz with Miss Dubberke. Also the heat was so hot that we had to have inside recess.

 

 From Mrs. R - 

Thank you so much for attending our parent information meeting Tuesday night.  Students now have over a full week under their belts and a sense of how classes and transitions go.  We are getting better at routines and organization with fewer reminders. Students are learning how to think first of others (pushing in chairs, clearing the table for "company," waiting to be acknowledged before asking the teacher a question, and letting others go first - tough one!!). 

We are learning....

Religion - God our creator, fall into sin, and consequences of sin (Towel of Babel)

        Check out the Family link for our Religion book to see a family devotion for each of our first 3 lessons.

G and T Math - Try - Discuss, Connect Routine -  supporting our thinking.  As we finish the diagnostic we are reviewing the basics (place value,subtraction across a zero, regrouping, multi-digit multiplication using decimals)

        **We jump to unit 2 to start with Decimal Numbers/Operations then will return to Unit 1 for Geometry fun with Area and Perimeter

Social Studies - Map tools, Latitude and Longitude 

Literature: Plotline, predication, and the genre of Short  story  (check out the drama photos below)

Science:  Lab Safety and Station work routines

Art: Line, Pop art

English: Types of sentences,vocabulary study
