It was a great week back to school. It took a little time for us to get back into our routines, but once we did it was like we never left.
The students took their NWEA Language Usage test this week. They worked very hard and took their time on the test. Ask your child how they did.
In Writer's Workshop the students worked on conventions. They had five to ten sentences each day that they needed to correct. The focus was on capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and grammar.
During Language Arts the students built stamina in Read to Self, Read to Someone, and Word Work. On Friday we meet with our Kindergarten Buddies. The students also worked with analogies, author's viewpoint, and making inferences this week.
Math the focus continued to be on multiplying and dividing decimals, measurement, and prime factorization.
We also had an all school Pakrat Celebration on Friday afternoon. If your child made the 400 minute club they will bring home a certificate and a SPRITE.
Stay war this weekend!!
We will be using this blog during the course of the year as a means to communicate all that is going on in the classroom. Students will be asked to complete assignments online and we will use the blog as the format for those assignments.
