November 16

Good evening! We have completed Unit 1 in our Social Studies book. We will start Unit 2 tomorrow. We will be studying geography. We have also been using a new approach to Language Arts called Active Literacy. Students leave "tracks" of their thinking during reading using sticky notes. When students have a question or learn something new, they write it down on the note and mark the page with it. Each student will need about 3 packs of regular sized sticky notes to use during class. We are also looking for willing parents to donate wet ones or hand wipes for the classroom. We would greatly appreciate it.

For homework tonight, students should complete Home Link 3.3 and read their Phonics Reader. The students also made clocks to keep at home and practice. Please practice with them for a little bit each day to reinforce telling time to the hour, half-hour and five minute interval.

Have a great night!
