Happy Friday everyone!   I just want to remind you all to check your child’s assignment notebook (planner) every night and sign it.  This is a handy form of communication and also a way for your child to get a punch in their punch card!

Spelling:  We have been working on activities in class. They have submitted them for seesaw when they are complete. 3 assignments should be done by Friday. Anything that is not done will be sent for homework over the weekend. The test will include 15 words from the student's list (teacher's choice) and 2 sentences, using any of their 2 words.

Reading & Language Arts:  This week we will start informally writing in our composition books; we’ll be focusing on narratives.  We’ll also start our first reading unit, Tales as Old as Time.  

Please remember to keep track of your child’s reading (20 minutes, 20 days) on the pink reading log they brought home yesterday.  They will turn it in on or before September 29th.

Social Studies:  Our first graded quiz was a success!  This week, we’ll start a unit on oceans and continents.  I’m looking at 9/19 as a tentative quiz date for this information.  There will, of course, be a study guide coming home next week.

Science:   We won’t be starting science yet.

Mrs. Mandru's Math Class:  This week we’ll be focusing on subtraction.  There will be a quick checkpoint quiz this coming Monday on addition and subtraction.
