The weeks are going so quickly! I can't believe that it is already the second week of September. We have been really busy in our room and it doesn't look like it is going to slow down!
This week in reading we will be reading Elena. We will begin reading Elena tomorrow. On Monday and Tuesday students read mini books with partners. The students also heard about the Young Hoosier book club for this year. Students need to read 5 books from the Young Hoosier book club list by the end of the year if they want to participate. We've already read one (Mudshark) as a class. We are also almost finished with our novel, The Best School Year Ever. Students will be able to take a Reading Counts quiz over this novel.
We are finished up chapter two in math. This week we have focused on multiplication and estimating. We will test next week over chapter two. We will also pre-test over chapter three next week.
We have nearly completed chapter one in science regarding classifying organisms. Students will test over these concepts next week. Yesterday and today students used microscopes to look at an onion cell and a leaf cell.
We began chapter one in S.S. this week. We are also getting ready for our first map quiz. Students will work on the northeast region during the month of September. In October, we will add another region to our map. This website http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/web_games.htm has tons of games that would be great practice for states and capitals.
