Week in Review: 9-28--10-2

Boosterthon

Boosterthon is off to a great start! Our class is up to $4 a lap and only needs $1 more to reach an extra recess. Woo Hoo, who doesn't love extra recess? There is a special weekend challenge this weekend for a special prize to those who raise $60 or 2 people to pledge $1 per lap. Our classroom receives 10% of the money we earn. So log on to funrun.com or just click on the picture below.

This week we have learned that TOGETHER WE... 

 AND...

Math Updates

We have begun our unit on subtraction. Please have your mathematician continue to practice fast fact fluency for subtraction. Next week we will be working on subtraction fluency with numbers 20 and less. This is so important to know these basic facts quickly as we begin subtraction with regrouping next week. 

Social Studies

This week we have been learning about South Carolina's regions and land features. The test on Chapter 2 will most likely be next Friday so be on the look out for the study guide next week. 

Science

We are currently studying plants and plant life cycles. This test is scheduled for Tuesday, October 13th. A study guide will come home next week. Ask your scientist to tell you about the life cycle of the plant. Below is a link a video we watched this week. Have your scientist tell you what is happening in the videos.

Literacy

We continue to work on asking questions while we read to help us understand the text. We also continue to look at blends in spelling patterns. We will begin weekly vocabulary word study as well.
