Hi Parents of room 203!

Welcome back...I hope you are having a great week!

A Peek at Our Academic Week

Sept. 24th, 2012

HOMEWORK

• Word Study: Scholars will begin receiving a weekly word study sheet for homework. It will be broken down into days so it is clear as to what to do Monday through Thursday. During times when we don't  have school scholars are still expected to complete what ever is given in the packet.

• Math: Scholars will begin doing two pages of homework a night instead of one. They will have 4 worksheets and each day they are to do one sheet front and back.

• Writing: Word study is now in the place of the free write to focus more on vocabulary patterns, word recognition, and other concepts that will help on test, quizzes, MAP, and ISAT.

REMEMBER-Turning in homework late is unacceptable. If any scholar turns in work anytime after it is due, they will not receive credit! Any questions, please contact Ms. Scott.

 

IN CLASS

Math: Scholars will address problem solving skills, even and odd, place value and more.

 

Reading:  Guided reading small groups are continuing to move forward as scholars think about thier thinking. We are also undergoing different words for the word sorts to help build thier level of vocabulary and comprehension.

 

(Guided reading is a strategy that helps scholars become good readers. We, the instructors, provide support for small groups of readers as they learn to use various reading strategies such as utilizing context clues, letter and sound relationships, word structure, and so much more).

 

Writing: Scholars are working on Narratives.

 

Social Studies:  Scholars will begin learning about history and geography with a specific focus on Ancient Rome.   

 

Shining scholar!

 

 DaMaya is very pleasant and helpful. She is a great asset to room 203 and a joy to have in class. Fantastic job DaMaya!
