What a great day!
Language Arts:
Today was a busy one in Room 24. We took our spelling pretest, reviewed subject and predicate, discussed our new vocabulary for this weeks' story, listened to the story on tape, and discussed our seven new RIT vocabulary words. (These words will be added each week. Your child has them in their reading binder and it is a great idea to review them a little each week. They will be tested periodically.) We even found a spare minute to read a bit of our read a loud.
Homework:
***Our new Weekly Homework Packet was passed out today. Parents- please sign the top and each nights reading minutes. Packets without parent signatures and reading minutes initialed will result in an "Oops" slip on Friday. This is the only way that I can ensure that reading is completed. This is due on Friday along with our spelling test.
***All assessments from Friday were passed back today with the exception of those students who were absent on Friday. If your child received an "N", please review the test, sign it, and return it tomorrow.
************************************************************************************
Math:
After completing our minute and working on our computation (divisibility review, comparing fractions, long division, multiplication with multi digit numbers, and adding fractions), we jumped into our daily lesson. Today we spent time working on equivalent names for fractions.
Homework:
***Math Boxes 7.5 and 7.6
************************************************************************************
Social Studies:
Today in class we drew a bird's-eye view of our home. We labeled each section of our homes into different regions and labeled our map with a colored map key. This initiated our discussion of regions of the United States and the review of our new vocabulary terms. We finished up by reading and discussing section 2.1 in our book.
Homework:
***The Chapter 1 tests were passed back today. Be looking for them in folders. If your child received an "N", please review the test together, sign it, and return it to school tomorrow.
Until tomorrow...

What a great week!
Language Arts:
Today was a busy morning. We completed all of our weekly assessments and worked on writing cinquains.
Reminders:
***The Weekly Homework Packet that is assigned each week needs parent initials in several places. Parents need to sign the top portion of the packet stating that they read the weekly story with their child, practiced the vocabulary, reviewed the spelling words, and discussed the RIT words of the week. Parents are also asked to initial each night after their child records their reading minutes. This ensures that the minutes read are accurate.
Homework:
***None
**************************************************************************************
Math:
Today in math we worked on computation and played our first Everyday Mathematics game. This game was called "Fraction Of' and practiced finding the fraction of a whole number.
Homework:

We were able to cover a lot of material today in Language Arts. We started in grammar by discussing both the subject of a sentence and the predicate. We completed a page in our practice book where we had to make fragments complete sentences by adding a complete predicate. This was a little tricky.
During our writing time, we finished up our "Who Am I" poems and wrote our final copy.
We ended the morning with switching for Vocabulary Vine, practicing our RIT vocabulary, and finding the main idea of a paragraph.
Homework:
***Reading project books must be approved on or before Sept. 3. See Mrs. Suddarth
