Reminders:
·
THANK YOU AZUUL and
BRAYDEN for snacks this week! Next week we have Daisuke (Monday/ Tuesday),
Dakota (Wednesday/Thursday) and Destiny on (Friday and following Monday).
Please send in a total of 48 individually wrapped items to feed the class. Your
child will bring snack for two days as other children will provide as well.
Your child will not bring snacks for a couple of months but will have something
to eat every day.
·
HOMEWORK NEXT WEEK: Again,
one page of the math packet, a one-minute fluency passage with comprehension
questions and writing their 10 spelling words AND sentences need to be
completed nightly or done by Friday for checking. Be on the look for much
graded work!
·
I will be sending
home a handwriting and letter formations packet on Monday. There have been huge
improvements in their handwriting. Any
extra practice, with the correct formations is helpful. If your child has a
moment have them work on their penmanship!
·
Collecting all BOX
TOPS! Cut out on grocery items, collect and send them on in! PTO usually does a
class party for the class who collects the most Box Tops. The funding is very beneficial as it all adds
up. We are able to purchase items for the classes and school with Box Top
funding.
·
Please be sure your
child is in attendance each and every day and for the entire school day. I have
a few friends who arrive late and leave early pretty often. Any appointments
and transportation plans scheduled for before or after the school day are super
helpful. I would hate for your child to miss out on anything we have planned.
·
As the weather cools
down be sure names are on all clothing items incase they get misplaced.
·
Every Friday support
your Marshall spirit by wearing your Marshall gear!
·
THANK YOU Azuul,
Elaina, Jacob and Lilith for the Mesopotamian food donations. I will be
gathering a few other things this weekend.
I look forward to the kids tasting familiar items as well as trying some
new things!
·
September will be a
month of focusing on EFFORT, and by this I mean using your energies and
excitements to make the most out of each and every day. Effort can be applied through eye contact,
posture, neat work and participation. We
will also be making an effort to show kindness, helpful actions and positive
words. I have seen a great effort
already, check class dojo to see daily points!

Next Week:
Language Arts
The kids have LOVED reading the
various versions of Cinderella. We read
the Chinese, African, Irish and Korean versions this past week. This upcoming week we will read the Egyptian
version as well as a more traditional story plot. We have been focusing much of our efforts on
fictional read a louds. Towards the end of the week we are going to make the
shift to non-fictional text as we read about Hatshepsut and make annotations as
we read. After we read and collect some interesting
facts we will be composing our first writing piece.
Math
Next week we are onto a new
addition strategy, the concept of using doubles plus one. The math skills are
starting to become rigorous and new, I would like to offer a valuable resource
to help at home. Use the following link
if you are unsure of any new concepts.
We are in Module 1 lessons 21-24 next week.
Science
Ms. Shaw will spend the week
focusing on the important crop of wheat and completing a few investigative activities.
Social Studies
We have completed our
Mesopotamian pop up books, what a project! I look forward to sharing them during parent
teacher conferences. To wrap up our unit
we will enjoy Mesopotamian food while using adjectives as we eat. We will take
a unit test next week.
