Have a great weekend, Miss Turco Happy September! I hope you all enjoy your four day weekend! These kids deserve some rest and relaxation, they are such hard workers! Next Wednesday the kids will be taking a writing assessment. We will start at 8:15 and the kids will be responsible for making their own thinking map, writing a rough draft, and a final copy. We will take this assessment at the beginning and end of the year to measure progress in writing. Please make sure they are on time Wednesday morning and have had a hearty breakfast. We will take a break in between sessions to get some fresh air! This week we had some fun subtraction bowling! Here are some cute pictures I took! Next Week
Reading: We will not have Walk to Read Wednesday due to the writing assessment. My Walk to Read class will continue to read Curious George Goes to School and will review short vowel a, i, and o. Writing: We will have the district assignment on Wednesday. Our smaller focus throughout the week will be writing complete sentences. Math: We will start fact families or related facts.
