ANNOUNCEMENTS: 

September 1 – No School: Enjoy this Labor Day holiday!

October 3 - Field Trip to Chickamauga Battlefield - More information to come when date is closer. We will be asking for parent drivers on this all day learning experience.

F&F: Our F&F unit, Sequence of Events, continues, as do the homework assignments. Homework is always noted in agendas. Please check in with your child to be sure he/she has read and made at least FIVE notes as they read their assignment. The unit’s study materials are in the F&F section of binders. Help/remind your child to study a little bit at a time. Testing will be the week of September 15.

English: In Writing, our Writing Workshop is underway! We continue to generate ideas to help us with creative writing and build our writing stamina. We also continue to take an idea, put it on paper, and arrive at a finished product. Also, we are working on “All About Me” projects and introducing poetry. In ELA, we have completed our unit on sentences and fragments and will begin identifying types of sentences, as well as the basics of sentence structure.

Math: We will continue with Unit 1 covering multiplication and division models & strategies. Key vocabulary includes factors and multiples. Homework will go home Tuesday and is due on Friday. 

Science/Social Studies: Google slide show topics were assigned last week. Students will be given the opportunity to work on these in class. These will be due on September 17th and presented in class on September 18th and 19th. It would be great if you let them practice their presentation at home! We will also begin looking at the individual battles of the Civil War in class.

Spelling: Spelling list 2 will be placed in the Spelling Section of binders Tuesday following Labor Day. Please help your child study using their homework assignments on the Spelling Activity Sheet (also in binders). Activity Sheets are due Wednesday, September 10. Test 2 will be on Friday, September 12.
