We are ready for another great week!  Again, I'm so proud of the students handling 3 days of subs like a pro!  I love hearing compliments about our class!  I am so proud of them!  That being said, I know my sub was trying to be helpful when she graded papers...however, she graded some incorrectly!  Please excuse the scribbling, I tried to cover up most mistakes with stickers! :) 

In reading this week, we will be on our LAST WEEK for Unit 1.  We will be learning this week's skills AS WELL AS testing over the whole unit on Friday.  This means our new skills this week will be included in a cumulative test this Friday, covering all skills from Unit 1.  In phonics, we will focus on words with -ck, and -ng as well as reviewing multi-syllabic words.  We will be focusing on using visuals for reading comprehension (internet features) as well as reviewing main idea, details, and characters.  In writing, we will continue mini grammar lessons on possessive 's as well as continuing to work on writing a main idea with details.

We will be starting Chapter 2 in our "Math in Focus" program.  We will be working on addition up to 1,000.  This week, we will focus on addition without regrouping.  Students will take a pretest Monday, this will help me make intervention/enrichment groups for math intervention time.  We will also be using the iPads for some new math games!  We will be using Fast Math in the computer lab to help us study our facts!  This week will be the first time we get to go to the lab since all testing is done for MAPS!
