into the swing of things

Our first five day week is in the books!  In math, we worked with patterns on the number grid and found different ways to represent numbers.  We also practiced using calculators and started looking at coins.  We had our second meeting with our reading buddies!  We also did lots of reading in the classroom and talked about what makes a story a fantasy story.  We talked about our Constitution and how laws in our country can be similar or different to the rules in our classroom.

Important notes for next week:
Monday, September 24th @ 6:30pm  - Back to school night in my room.  It will be information intended for parents.  Later in the year (before our performance) will be an Open House where students can show of their classroom to you
Wednesday, September 26th - First collection day for our school fundraiser
Friday, September 28th - Scholastic Book orders are due.  For every $25 you spend, you get a free book (that's new this year!)
​

• We will be starting to talk about reading homework (how long, where)
• We will introduce homework club (an optional math challenge packet where they can earn a coupon)

Have a great weekend!
