Hello All! I hope everyone is feeling well. Today, we had our first day of 100% attendance since second semester began. Hopefully, everyone can continue to stay healthy.
This week we will continue to work on reading nonfiction and determining the main idea. Typically, this can be very difficult for 8/9 year olds, so we will be continually practicing through all subject areas.
Last week, in writing, we worked toward publishing our opinion writing on the blog. You can read a few published pieces below. Many students are still drafting their opinions and the blog will be updated as they finish. This is a great opportunity to integrate writing and digital citizenship. Feel free to provide positive feedback or counter arguments to students in the comment section at the bottom of the post.
In math we are spending a few weeks working in depth with money. The homework this week includes a simple counting money page for review. Ultimately our goal is for students to be able to make change by counting up from a total to $5.00. If you have time, I would appreciate your reinforcement of this skill at home.
In social studies, we are wrapping up our study of communities and will begin learning about the life of Martin Luther King Jr.
Finally, a quick reminder about our Encore schedule this week: Tuesday-Music, Wednesday-PE, Thursday-Art, Friday-Library.
