ROLLING ALONG!

We finally finished our literacy assessments!  I now know the children a lot more as learners and individuals.  Soooo... desk change!  We will be moving around this Monday into new seats.  I must say I have been very impressed with the improvement we have made as a class in terms of transitions and staying focused during independent work time.  This week we will have even more independent work time since it is a full week and our field trips are shorter.  We will make a lot of academic progress this week in all subjects.  Here is what we are focusing on in each subject:

Reading: making predictions with various genres

Writing: I AM poem

Math: test on place value, ordering and comparing; practicing adding and subtracting decimals

SS: Geography from the text book, island maps

Science: experimental design with our bird feeders; organizing our place observations

I look forward to seeing families at the Potluck/Back to School night this Tuesday, September 9 from 5-7:30.
