Dear Parents,
Dear Parents,
First I’d like to thank those of you who stopped by at our Open House last week. I hope we are on the same page in terms of routines and helping your child stay on a successful path through the course of the year.
I was away the last 3 days of last week due to an injury. Due to my absence the homework schedule and activities did not all run as planned. Students should remain prepared for all the quizzes and tests that were scheduled for last week in case they have to be made up this week. I am eager to get things on the right track again.
Please note that this is the last paper Newsletter that will be sent home weekly. Starting next week I will post the weekly newsletter only on the classroom website:www.mscartagenasclassroom.blogspot.com
Please be sure to check and read the weekly newsletter online every Sunday by 3pm.
Below is the plan for this week according to my original schedule. Adjustments will be made according to the update I receive regarding where the class left off on Thursday. Thank you for your cooperation.
This week:
Language Arts
Spelling: easy, grade, meet, late, seat, saved, pail, these, reach, name, raise, leave, gain, theme, scream. The list will be posted on the class website. Spelling Test is on Thursday, September 29, 2011.
Reading: This week we start “Pepita Talks Twice” found in the Zebra book pgs.44-62.
Vocabulary: stubborn, grumble, mumbled, exploded, darted, streak, languages. Definitions for vocabulary found in the Zebra book glossary and on the class website.
Writing: We will be working on ideas in journal entries in response to story discussion.
Math
We will continue working on Chapter 1 with a focus on comparing numbers, ordering numbers, and rounding to the nearest ten and hundreds.
