Sept. 5th-11th

This week has flown by! We've been engaged in Tribes activities, such as community circle, as well as cooperative activites. This week in math we began our first numeracy unit, starting with place value.  In language we began our independent reading program. The class voted on an organization system for our class library, and chose to alphabetize by author's last name. Now we have a beautifully organized class library! . We also broke in our writing folders by beginning a piece entitled, "A Letter to our Future Selves." The students will read the letters again in June, 2015. We are working through the writing process of brainstorming, writing a draft, revising, editing, then writing a final draft, within the format of a friendly letter. We have sqeezed a lot into 4 days! 

Important upcoming dates:Thursday, Sept. 11th: pool
Tuesday, Sept. 16th: BBQ and curriculum night

Homework for this week:

1) memorize the 3 and 4 times tables ( if you haven't already)
2) read for at least 20 minutes each night

Best,
Bronwyn Davidson
