We had a great and busy first two days of school discussing rituals and routines and getting used to wearing face masks!
This week we will begin baseline testing for Reading, Math and Science. The majority of this testing will take place on the computer except for Science testing.
Academics:
ELA: This week in ELA will consist of rituals and routines, setting up journals and completing Achieve 3000 and I-ready baseline testing. We will begin our first reading lesson and the focus is Main Idea. We have begun our Classroom-Book-A-Day program and will read one picture book daily for the entire year! I will also introduce a social studies task to be completed in a two week framework. Read At Home logs will go home on Thursday and will be the required homework for ELA. I will collect them each Thursday and a new one will go home. More to come as we get this year under way!
Math: We have started full steam ahead into our math curriculum. We are working on powers of ten, exponents, and how multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, and 1,000 changes the value of a number. Students have begun completing daily math each morning. This is a great way for us to review key topics all year. Students will take a weekly quiz on Friday. The first two we will complete together.
Science: We have begun discussing the Scientific Method and how students can write a testable question. We hope to be able to get into some labs soon.
