Week 5

Hello again parents and students!  In Social Studies this week, will we continue celebrating Constitution Week, which began on Saturday, September 17.  On Friday we will use a quiz website called Kahoot to test our knowledge of map skills.  We will also continue writing stories about a time we found something special.  We will be publishing these stories as our first writing composition soon.  In Reading we will continue working on summarizing and sequencing events in literary text and discussing theme. Please remind your child of the importance of completing and turning in language homework each Friday.  Happy Constitution Week!

The First Days of School

Hello parents and students!  Last week we spent time getting to know each other and learning expectations for independent reading.  We also learned a prewritng strategy called quick write and learned about the regions of Texas.  This week in reading, we've been studying characters and theme in the story Stone Fox.  In writing, we have begun writing personal narratives about a special time in our lives.  In social studies, we are continuing our unit on the four regions of Texas.  If you haven't done so, please send us a photograph of your child visiting any place in Texas.  It will be posted in our classroom to show the regions in Texas we've visited.  Thank you for checking in.  There will be pictures of our classwork coming soon!
