Good afternoon families-
My apologies- no idea if this is considered week 7 or week 10. Also have lost track of what day of school it is! Important Dates 2nd - Rex M's birthday 7th - Breyonna W's birthday 8th - No School (End of Q1) 9th - Kelly Y's birthday 11th - No School (Veteran's Day) 13th - No School (Report Card Conferences) 28th - No School (Thanksgiving) & Abigail S's birthday 29th - No School (Thanksgiving Break) (please note that due to the strike, dates may change) CPS just sent the proposed 5 instructional days that will be made up from the strike. These proposed days need to be approved by the Board of Ed who is meeting on November 20th. I want to share these days so that you can plan accordingly. Again, please note that these are not official- but just proposed. Wednesday, November 27th, 2019 Thursday, January 2nd, 2020 Friday, January 3rd, 2020 Wednesday, June 17th, 2020 Thursday, June 18th, 2020 Peak into this Week Reading - We will be backtracking this week to review what our expectations and reading strategies are and how to reflect on them in our readers' response notebook. We will also be moving forward in learning strategies of how to break apart difficult words to read them fluently. We will also be paying attention to authors by reading like a writer, trying the different writing techniques they've read in their own writing, and noticing how an author connects parts of the story together to create an ending that can sometimes teach a lesson. Math - I had originally planned on finishing up our place value unit up to the thousands and moving on to adding numbers up to the hundreds place. Unfortunately due to the strike, we are a bit behind. There will be a quiz this Wednesday, November 6th on place value of numbers up to the hundreds. Students should be able to write a number in standard form, word form, and expanded form. Students should also be able to name value of a number-- i.e. the six in 261 as sixty and should also be able to represent a number through base ten blocks. Report Card Pick-Up Conferences Please use the following link to schedule your report card pick-up conference with me. Report Card Conferences will be on Wednesday, November 13th from 11:00a-6:00p. Each time slot is 10 minutes and if we need to schedule for a longer time, please let me know so that we can extend it to another day. If none of the available times work for you, please let me know so that we can set up an alternative time/day. SIGN UP HERE. Sickness Going on in the Classroom We, unfortunately, have strep that is currently going around the classroom. If your child is feeling sick, please keep them home. The custodians and I will be deep cleaning the classroom to try to eliminate any germs being passed around.
