Week of 8/14 - 8/18

Dancers by Edgar Degas

We made it through the first week of school! It has been a pleasure getting to know each of the scholars and establishing our classroom community! We were able to start diving into the content of Spalding, writing, and math towards the end of the week.  Starting Monday we will also add history, grammar, and literature!

Please make sure that your scholars have their Math Workbook 3A, Blue Spalding notebook, and The Trumpet of the Swan at school if they have not already been sent. These books will be used every day in the classroom!

This week we in Spalding will be adding foundational "Rule Pages" to our Spalding notebooks.  We will have a spelling and phonogram test on Friday, August 18.

In math we will be learning about place value, rounding, and estimating.  We will have a math test on Tuesday, August 22.

Grammar this week will focus on nouns.  In writing we will continue to formulate summaries focusing on plot, character, setting, and main events.

This week we look forward to delving into history also and will be learning about world geography.

Please note Friday, August 18th is a half day. Dismissal will be at noon and no lunch will be served at school.

A look ahead:
August 24: Grades 3-5 Curriculum night
