Next week in writing, we are going to be learning about how to evaluate our own writing by asking ourselves questions like "What did I do well?" and "What can I do to make my writing even better?" In Math this week and next, will be learning about copying, continuing, and creating patterns.
Next week we will also be learning about Veteran's Day. We will have a special Veteran's Day assembly on Wednesday at 9:15. If you or a relative is a Veteran, I would love to know so our class can write some letters of appreciation.
Today we had a practice spelling test so the students could see the format of the spelling test. Next week, we will begin the real spelling tests. Each week I will send home 4 words to practice (two new words and two review words.) We will also have a dictation sentence on the test so the students can practice applying their sight words (popcorn words) when writing. My goal for each student is to be able to read, write, and spell each of these words. Doing so will make them better readers and writers.
I think that's all for now! Have a great weekend!
