Classroom Updates
Dear Kindergarten Families,
Hello November!! This month in Kindergarten we will continue to work on our K-2 essential skills which will focus on completing assignments and staying on task. In ELA we will continue to work in our Wonders curriculum in Units 3 and 4 learning new sight words, new letters and sounds, and new grammar skills. In our Heggerty Phonemic Awareness curriculum we will continue to work on phonemic awareness skills that will help students to develop decoding and encoding skills to help their reading skills grow! In Eureka Math we will be working in Module 2 focusing on analyzing, describing, and creating two- and three- dimensional shapes by considering their attributes.
As we seeing the weather changing and colder temperatures outside, please make sure your child has the appropriate clothing and shoes for the colder weather. Please be aware that our Fall food drive has started. Mesa will be collecting boxes of cornbread. Please help us by sending in boxes of cornbread. Cornbread can be sent to your students’ classrooms for collection.
Hello, third grade families!
Happy November! November is a full month of learning skills! In math we will be wrapping up place value in Module 2 and moving into Module 3. In Module three we circle back to multiplication and division. We will work on multiplication and division with units of 0, 1, 6, 7, 8, and 9. In ELA we will be focusing on author's point of view, theme and main idea. We will also continue to work on our grammar and spelling skills as we write!
Hello, 5th grade families! As we continue our 2nd quarter this month, we will continue to focus on addition and subtraction with fractions in math. Students will also learn about line plots and begin problem-solving with fractional measurements. It is amazing to see how students are able to make connections with the different skills and see how they can apply everyday skills that are used outside of the classroom! We will continue our discussion in Science about the solar system and patterns in space. In Social Studies we will begin learning about AmeriTowne. Finally, in ELA we will be learning about theme, personification, and homographs. We will continue using our RACE responses to answer questions throughout all subjects.
We are looking forward to a great 2nd quarter. As always, we appreciate all the support from our families, we couldn’t do this without you!
