Weekly Update September 8, 2017
Hopefully this class blog will be a quick and easy way to keep you updated about what’s going on in our class and at HES. Please read below for important info and check out the previous post for pictures from our Science Fun for Everyone Day in August.
Believe it or not we just have 1 more week of school before our first 9 weeks is over!
Thank you so much for those of you who have already been by to meet with me and talk about your child’s progress this quarter. I look forward to meeting with the rest of you next week!
Below is a copy of an insert that you received/will receive with your child’s report card with some ideas for things to do over break to keep your child in the swing of things with reading and math:
This 9 weeks we have worked to build good habits in both math and reading. In Social Studies we focused on the features and location of the 3 regions of NC. In Science we learned about forces, specifically electricity and magnetism. Next quarter we will spend much of our time in Reading and Writing nonfiction. This means we will be focusing on things like main idea, cause and effect, etc. We will integrate our Science unit ( animals and their adaptations) with both nonfiction Reading and informational writing.
Please keep reading independent “just right” books and practicing multiplication facts over fall break!
Some great websites we use in class for math practice/games:
