Wow! We have had an amazing first week! It has been so wonderful getting to know all of the members of our class and seeing them transition so well into 4th grade. We spent a lot of time this week talking about PATH expectations. Please take some time to ask your student what the letters in PATH stand for and how they have been showing that they are on the path this week.
Our first round of MAPS testing is already here! Our class will be taking the Reading MAPS test on Monday morning and the math one on September 16th. These test results help us get a preliminary look at the skills our students have mastered and ones we need to continue practicing.
We will be having reading W.I.N. time again this year, however, it will not start until October. Before we decide our grouping, we will be doing reading level assessments with each of our students. This helps us get a closer, more accurate look at what exactly each student needs so that we are able to help them be the best readers they can be!
Here is what next week will look like in each of our subjects:
Language Arts:
-Continue to practice Read to Self routines
-Set up reading response journals and interactive reading notebooks
-Review 4th grade reading goals and expectations
-Start Word Work and Writing
-Students can start getting in the habit by reading 20 minutes each night
* Details about our 4th grade expectations and reading logs will be coming home on Friday*
Math:
-Begin Unit 1 on Word Problems
-Students can start getting into the habit of practicing their multiplication facts
Social Studies
Mr. Krupa has also decided to start covering some of our Social Studies during their extended math time. They will start by learning about our 50 states.
Other Reminders:
-Book orders are due next Friday! Thank you to all families who have already sent in your orders:)
Have a great week!
