***Please remember that the tardy bell rings at 7:40. Learners must be IN THEIR CLASSROOM by 7:40. In the mornings, it is best if you drop off your children in the gym before 7:30 so they can walk down with their class. The gym doors open at 7:20. It helps us start the day with a positive start when we walk down together as a class. THANKS!!

Language Arts / Reading:
Next Week's Spelling Rule: digraphs (bossy h). Don't forget to study your spelling words each week.
Each morning we do DOL to help us edit our writing. We are on the hunt for missing periods, capital letters, and incorrect spellings, etc. This helps us make the transfer to edit our writing when we have Writer's Workshop.
Don't forget to download the "Learning A to Z" app on your smart device. You will have to put your teacher's log in the first time you use the app (1atce, 1btce, 1ctce, 1dtce). After you do that, your child will log in with their username/password. This is a great app that has leveled books at just their correct level! If you are having trouble with the app, please let your teacher know.

Social Studies:
We will be learning about the importance of voting. We will be participating in a fun classroom election with Duck for President.
Math:
Learners will apply basic fact strategies to add. Learners will use objects and pictorial models to solve word problems involving joining, and comparing sets within 10 and unknowns. Example: 2 + 4 = ___
3 + ____ = 7
8 = ____+ 3
3 + ____ = 7
8 = ____+ 3
Math Take Home Activity:
Write 10 = 10 + 0. Model the problem with pennies. Ask your children to make 10 another way. Take turns until you and your child model all the ways to make 10.
Science:
Learners will investigate the properties and behaviors of liquids.
