Busy Minion News - Week of September 6th



  This Week  Another good week logged into the books!  We dove into our first Literacy story and learned more of our Work Plan routines with “My Diary From Here to There.”  The kids practiced spelling choices, vocabulary booklets, Lucky Listener Club, got to know the story elements chart, and had fun learning how to do a popsicle stick story.  We worked on repeating and growing patterns in Math.  We also completed our new NH license plate designs and started learning about NH’s place in the world.  We are still working on our Tree Ring writing projects and are enjoying listening to Harry Potter each day.  We also pretested on Study Island.
Next Week  For Literacy next week, we will read the story “The Adventures of Ali Baba Bernstein.”  We will continue to work on the skills of story elements and the structure of sentences.   In Math, we will review place value, and comparing numbers.  We are going to be working on completing our Tree Ring projects.  We are going to be starting a Picturing Writing project on the regions of NH.  We will also be starting our first long term project and it will come home on Monday. (To allow your family time to work on the project during the long term project time frame, our regular homework will consist of the spelling practice, reading independently, and possibly occasional math practice.  Good luck with the project!  Have fun)
      REMINDER: We have Phys Ed on Mondays – so remember your sneakers!  Activity Clubs to start next Friday!
