Weekly Update: August 13, 2018

News this week:

August 15, is the final day to order spirit wear and PTA memberships. Please click on the link below:
If you have already ordered but didn’t send in your cash or check, please send your payment by Thursday. All new orders will need to use PayPal for payment to make the deadline.

ELA
Writing- We are moving "write" along in writing.  We are going over the writing process this week:  Brainstorming, Drafting, Revising, Editing, and Publishing.  I really want the students to enjoy writing, so many of the prompts at this time is focused on them.  It is much easier to write about yourself.

Reading
We are discussing the story elements this week.  We will begin dissecting poetry next week.  Please encourage your child to read every night for 20 minutes.  I am looking into the Pizza Hut Book it program to offer an incentive.  I will let you know what comes of that.

Math
Place value is becoming our friend.  You should be able to ask your students about expanded, standard, and word form now.  Right now, we are comparing numbers.  I am happy with the gains we have made thus far.

Social Studies
Our lesson from last week continues through this week.  Next week, we will begin the American Revolution.
