Homecoming week was fun this year! We have been working on routines and procedures as well as assessing what students already know! They have taken the Dibels assessment and STAR assessments. I have also begun assessing them using the DRA - a reading assessment. If you'd like to know your child's scores - please feel free to email me, text, or call! We also started writing personal narratives (stories that are about themselves) and focusing on planning a story, narrowing the topic, and making sure the story has a beginning , middle and end. In reading, we've begun to discuss story elements (setting, characters, and events) and are focusing on trying to identify these elements in the stories that we read. We are going to begin our Science unit on weather next week and have begun learning about Native Americans of Michigan. The students have been learning different methods for multiplication in math. So far, we have learned to do repeat addition, draw equal groups pictures, and draw arrays. They also learned about the Commutative Property of Multiplication! Students are doing really well with it!!! I will introduce division as the inverse operation of multiplication next week! Have a great weekend!!!
