Hello parents! Hope you are enjoying this beautiful fall-like weekend! I wanted to take a minute to thank all of you for attending Open House this past Thursday evening. There were a lot of topics covered during that time, so please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I'm excited that all of our Mystery Reader slots filled up and look forward to this starting!
This week is going to be a busy one! In reading we will learn about our "Reader's Voice", the voice we hear in our head as we're reading that tells us we've read something funny, interesting, sad, or confusing. We will also begin to have book talks with a partner discussing this reader's voice.
During math we'll expand our place value concepts to larger numbers and look at number lines. In writing we'll discover how writer's get their ideas and look to some mentor authors for examples of this. Our social studies discussions will focus on North America where we'll decide the hemisphere it's located in, the countries that make it up, look at the placement of the Equator, and review a compass rose. During word work our focus this week and last was on the difference between common and proper nouns. We will have a short quiz this Friday.
This week our first Reading Log will come home as well as our first Current Events calendar for the month of October. Be on the lookout for these two important pieces of paper! Don't forget to send in the Friday Letter tomorrow. Take care!
