Hi Parents of room 203!

Welcome back...I hope you have a great week and let's always keep in mind that this blog is a great way to keep track of what your scholars are doing this week and weeks to come!

A Peek at Our Academic Week

Sept. 3rd, 2012

Math: Scholars will address problem solving skills, taking apart numbers, pictographs, review two digit addition/subtraction and much more.

 

Reading: Scholars have been work on word sorts. Word Sorts are a strategy for examining and categorizing words according to their meanings. The purpose of word sorts is to help students focus on conceptual and phonological features of words and identify recurring patterns. For homework scholars will need to fill out the daily reading response sheet. This is to ensure they are reading with purpose.

 

Writing: Scholars will do Narrative writing pieces.

 

Science:  Scholars will observe the interaction of water with different materials, investigate the property of water and much, much more.

Shining scholar!

 

Ajia is a great scholar and has been doing well thus far in room 203. Great job Ajia!

Things to note and remember… 

• GYM days have been moved to FRIDAYS...

Welcome!!

Hi parents!

I hope all is well. This is where you will come to view any of the latest news and what is happening in room 203. This will replace the news letters which will address weekly objectives and homework assignments for the scholars of room 203. I know everyone may not have Internet access but LEARN has computers on the first floor for your usage. If you have any questions, comments or concerns please feel free to set up a meeting with me or voice them as you have done already during my periodic home calls. I conducted my first set of calls this past weekend and the responses where awesome!

I'm excited for what this year has in store and I look forward to working with you and your scholars...
