Please note parents there is NO SCHOOL next Friday September 30th - so the READING GROUPS will be cancelled also!
I am looking forward to beginning our groups this next Wednesday. Check the sign-up genius for times and designations.
Thank you for bringing back the book bags on Monday! Of course, chapter book students just return when they need a new book.
Parents, I am starting to give back the student's spelling tests on Monday. You will find them in their planner on Monday so you may check and see early in the week what they need to focus on for the week.
Also, we did not get to the recitation of the Pasteur poem on Friday, so your children have one more weekend to work on them. I will test them on Monday.
This week in 1B:
Literature – This week we are continuing Owl at
Home and working in our packets. We are also starting reading groups! We
can’t wait to take turns reading aloud and sequencing stories in small groups.
A huge thank you to those of you signed up to read with us! Homework is to
continue reading every night from the leveled readers or chapter books.

is a short week. Our spelling test will be on Thursday

will play a different game to review nouns and verbs.
Poem – “Autumn Woods” by James Tippett – we’ll be
practicing this one in class for fun the next two weeks in honor of the
beginning of Autumn! (Note: This one won’t go home to practice. We’ll send our
next one home after Fall Break.
Idiom – It at first you don’t succeed…

This week we will work towards mastery of both writing and speaking our subtraction facts! We will solve number bonds and relate subtraction to addition based on our different "parts" and our "whole" of each number bond. We will also be practicing counting down from 10 and using a number line to help us solve subtraction problems. It's going to be a fun week with lots of math games and new concepts :)!
This week we are continuing our study of ancient Mesopotamia with the study of the Code of Hammurabi.
It is one of the oldest
deciphered writings of significant length in the world. The sixth Babylonian
king, Hammurabi,
enacted the code, and partial copies exist on a seven and a half foot stone stele and various
clay tablets. The code consists of 282 laws. We will also read the
classic epic of the world’s oldest and most important legend. The Story
of Gilgamesh was first carved onto clay tablets in Mesopotamia. Its
message is of compassion, forgiveness, and friendship and the story has echoed
through the ages from its origins of over 5000 years ago.
