Week in Review - September 3rd-6th

Wow! Even though it was a short week, students worked very hard and accomplished a lot during work jobs and presentations. It is wonderful to see the progress they have made in just a few short weeks!

We are excited for the week ahead!

Last week, First grade students explored writing fractions and drawing what fraction of their family they were (1/3. 1/4, etc.)! Second graders worked hard on thesaurus skills while Third graders worked on dictionary skills. All students received presentations and spent time working on grammar skills (antonyms, synonyms, and prefixes). On Friday, some Third grade students presented the "Drama of the Archeozoic Ocean." First and Second grade students will be invited to act out this exciting drama during work time this week!

This coming week, students will work with money (identifying, matching, and counting coins ), writing numbers into words, and grammar (homophones and verb tenses). Students will also explore the second "Great Lesson" created by Dr. Montessori - the Timeline of Life!  

REMINDERS:

- All homework is typically sent home on Monday and is to be completed during the week. It is due on Friday. Students will be given Spelling tests and Math Timed tests in class every Friday. There will be a vocabulary test this Friday, September 13th for all students. Students typically complete vocabulary lessons at school, but may need to bring home these books to study for the test or to complete the work assigned.

-Work Binders were sent home on Tuesday, September 3rd. Please return these binders if you have not done so already.

-Please remember that students must be at school no later than 8:15. 

-Reading Logs are to be signed each night. Be sure to return them each day in your child's red folder.

Have a great week!
