Weekly Gazette (Nov.3-Nov.7)


What is Your Child Learning This Week?

Reading-We continue to work with main idea/details and how to put the most important ideas together to write a summary. Our primary text is the Social Studies textbook.

Writing-We are learning what is a good sentence and how to add details to make the sentence more interesting. 

Word Wall-We are continuing to learn about homophones. Our words for the week: or, are, too, two, to. 

Social Studies-We continue with the characteristics of the Earth and its landforms.

Math- We continue with double-digit addition and are beginning to practice writing and saying
            numbers up to 1,000 (place value). 


Tests and Quizzes
  • Word Wall quiz this Friday, November 7th.
  • Addition timed test this Thursday, November 6th.
  • Main Idea quiz Friday, November 7th. (study guide will go home Tuesday).
  • Double-digit addition problem solving quiz Thursday, November 6th. (study guide will go home Tuesday). 


Reminders
  • Please check the Eagle Courier. 

  • Parents, please make sure your child is on-time and present at school everyday. Every day missed is one more day that he or she becomes behind.

  • Please sign and return your child's report card as soon as you're done reviewing it. 

  • Although 2B's library time is every Friday, students are welcome to check-out books throughout the week once they have finished reading the other ones. They just need to ask the teacher for a pass, and they may go to the library during lunch or recess time.
