Classroom Focus
Arrival and Dismissal
We will start practicing with classroom routines when entering the classroom in the morning and packing up for dismissal. Step by step directions on what to do are always on the front PowerPoint. It should be followed very easily.
Dismissal can be a bit crazy but the reminders are again on the board. The students can look at the checklist of what to unpack or pack up and what to have out for class.
Homework / Assignment Notebook
Please Loog at nightly homework and sign the assignmnet notebook if you can. This is checked in class.
Math
We are workiing through Module 1. This topic starts with place value and work through number lines, comparing numbers. We also work with forms of numbers like standard, expanded and word form. This brings us to multiple digit addition.
Social Studies
We have started with oceans, continents, latitude, longitude. We will discuss our global address. Our first region is the NE region. For each region we will learn and discuss the land, climate, products and natural resources. We will also need to know the placement of each state on a map along with the state capital or each state.
