I hope you had a wonderful night. Monday is a day 4. On Monday we will begin our full class schedule. Please see our daily schedule on the right side panel of my blog
As per last year, this year I will be using an App called Remind. Through this App I will send updates about important class information, as well it is a simple way to communicate if your child will be away or have any questions about homework. Simply download the Remind App and join my classroom using the link below. Please sign up by Friday, September 13th.

Inquiry into Language
Today in language we continued our DRA's (Developmental Reading Assessment). All students will be tested at a DRA level 50, which is grade level. Students will be re-tested at a lower if necessary. We also completed a 'get to know me' activity and played class bingo! Weekly spelling lessons and tests will begin on Monday.
Our first novel study will be Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. This novel study will consist of comprehension questions with aspects of our DRA (Diagnostic Reading Assessment) tied in.
DRA's
Our first unit will be ‘What’s the Matter’ and will begin on Monday. We will be exploring the three states of matter, completing experiments, and participate in a Scientist in the School workshop. Our summative will be our science fair project. Stay tuned for more information.
Inquiry into Mathematics
Our first unit that will be covered in math is Unit 2: Whole Numbers which will begin on Monday, September 9th.
We also had our first house spirit day and played some house games!!
Important dates/items:
Have a fantastic weekend!
