Report cards will come home on Tuesday. Report cards are now a standards based progress report. This means we look at the full year expectations and report where your child is currently. However, in the reading categories we look at the current quarter's reading level expectations and report based on those reading levels. There will be many 1s and 2s on your child's report card. This is perfectly normal. A 3 is our goal for the end of the year. A 1 does not necessarily mean your child is not where they should be academically. It could also mean that we have not taught all parts of the standard. We will go over your child's report card during conferences and visit more on how your child was assessed.
Congratulations to Trinity! She was the October winner of our Purple Hand cookie.
We did have a little fun this week in between assessments. Our class made pumpkin bars! They were delicious!
Then on Halloween, we made spider soup. The students chose the ingredients throughout the week and we made it into a poem for our poetry binder. Most of the kids actually ate it!
We will begin unit 2 in Lead 21 this week. Our theme question is: How does our world change? This week's focus question is: How do plants and animal grow and change? In order to answer this question, we will be reading a non-fiction book about desert plants and animals during whole group and many books about plants and animals during reading groups.
In math, we will begin learning about subtraction and different strategies to use when subtracting. We will also begin learning about fact families.
