Hi,

The students worked hard during the third week of school! The following list includes topics that were discussed last week:

  • Asking and answering questions about a text
  • Finding the main idea and key details about a text 
  • Identifying and discussing vocabulary within a text 
  • Brainstorming and organizing ideas to write a story 
  • Including dialogue and considering word choice to make our stories more exciting
  • Exploring the geography of Maryland while looking at a physical and political map
  • Analyzing different types of maps (world, state, political, physical, elevation maps, etc.)
  • Rounding to the Nearest 10 or 100 
  • Completing number talks to build mental math strategies 
  • Analyzing different number patterns 

Important Dates and Reminders 
  • September 16th- Scholastic Book Orders are due
  • September 23rd- No School: Fair Day and Yom Kippur
  • September 25th- 2 Hour Early Dismissal for Students: Teacher Work Session
  • Please remember to return the Tech for Trek Labels as soon as possible! The labels were sent home during the first week of school! This is a great way to help our school raise money for technology so we can develop 21st century learners! 

I am looking forward to another great week at school! See you tomorrow!
