Hello parents! Happy day, it's Friday! :)
Today has been a busy day, we had dance class, computer class and electives!
For math we talked about what mixed practice is (addition and subtraction sentences together) and we completed our Language Arts quiz, spelling quiz and began a new science review. Next week our own 1st grade students, Jackie and Kevin, will be reading the daily prayers for the week.
Next week we will be having a Social Studies quiz (which will be an in class project) and we will begin a new unit in Language Arts where we write a story together as a class. We will also be wrapping up chapter 4 in Math and the assessment is scheduled for Monday September 21st.
Homework for this weekend is the Mixed Practice Math Worksheet that should be in your child's folder and to fill out some time slots in the Reading Log.
Have a wonderful weekend! I leave you some pictures from today, just being silly in class:

Hello everyone! Here is quick list of we did today:
Language Arts: Review of capital letters, punctuation marks, naming parts, action parts, telling sentences, questions, question marks and question words.
Math: Subtraction sentences, the answer to a subtraction sentence is called the difference. Practice sub traction in our books with pictures and completed subtraction worksheets.
Reading: Reviewed short vowel sounds and their rules (with exceptions!) and consonant sounds. Mixed long e's with consonant sounds. Practiced finding word families and rhyming words. Watched BrainPop videos on rhyming words and other phonics topics.
Science: Discussed important vocabulary (investigation, hypothesis, predict, classify, sequence, compare) continued observing our plants and recording data for each plant.
Tomorrow we will be having a Language Arts assessment, but there is no studying required for this, we have been working on the key topics in class, we will also have our spelling test.
Homework: Study for spelling test and MPB 3.4 and 3.5
Today is ECA we will be going to our Reading Buddies session of the week, with grade 5 students.
