As always the first week of school is very important because we are constantly going over classroom expectations and classroom routines. However, along with this students are also reviewing and learning new skills. Here are just some of the things your student will be covering:

Classroom: procedures, rules, expectations, rewards, consequences, organization

Reading/Writing: We will focus on visualization skills. Students during the first few weeks will also be taking a variety of tests to assess their decoding and comprehension abilities. In writing students will begin to learn about the writer’s workshop as well as using a story board and jot list to begin composing writing samples.

Math: Review/Introduction to place value. Students will also be taking math placement tests to determine their strengths and weaknesses.

Content: This is known as Science/Social Studies. At times teachers will alternate between these two subjects are presents the subjects simultaneously. Some topics we will focus on include using classification keys and the scientific meth. We will begin our scientific investigations unit which incorporates many math skills. We will also begin to focus on citizenship and rules which go along with learning or school and class procedures.
