We are half way through our first full week of school. I am so pleased with how quickly the students are learning the new procedures and how hard they are working on new material. This week, we have been focusing on place value in math. We will learn place value through the hundred thousands place. We are also reading a story on Lou Gehrig. It's one of my favorites! Through this story, we are learning about the reading strategies of predicting, clarifying, questioning, and summarizing. These are strategies that we will use all year. In writing, we've began a list of possible topics that we can come back to all year long for ideas. We'll start our first writing piece tomorrow, which will be to describe the special object we brought to school.
Please mark your calendars for Back to School Night on September 3. I look forward to meeting everyone then!
