Busy Minion News - Week of August 29th

This Week  It was a busy, fun start to the new school year!  We were busy learning all sorts of new classroom routines and procedures.  We read the story “Wanda’s First Day” and used that story to help us start learning about Work Plan activities and Spelling activities.  We created our Lucky Listener Club notebooks and created our own classroom Twitter feed (on the white board, not on the real Twitter) so we can tweet about the main idea of the story each week.  We started pretesting in Math and we are already working on a Social Studies project on the official NH Symbols.  We have dove into the first Harry Potter book and are enjoying listening to that a little bit each day after recess.  We have also started personal Tree Ring projects.

Next Week  After the long weekend, we will start a good 4 day week.  We will start with our first Literacy story “My Diary from Here to There.”  We will continue to learn about the Work Plan activities and begin our first Spelling list.  We will also begin Unit 1 in Math which is all about whole numbers, place value, and rounding in computation.  We will work on completing our designs of new NH license plates using the official state symbols and then we will start learning about the regions of NH.  We will also work on completing our Tree Ring projects.
