H-Book
Your child should bring this marble composition book with an H on the cover home everyday. Homework will begin on the first day with directions for ILA assignments. Work will be differentiated as the year progresses.
Please return all paperwork and forms as quickly as possible. Thank you! ILA (Integrated Language Arts)- We'll begin the year by revisiting favorite stories, songs and poems. The children will be expected to understand story elements of these favorites and then identify them in new books and stories. We will also analyze writer's craft and begin to orchestrate out own telling sentences; leading to a personal narrative.
Math- We will begin the first unit of everyday math and continue the spiral of skills. Please be sure to read the school home connections carefully- particularly the unit family letter. These will keep you posted about the secure and developing skills that will enable your child to be a true mathematical thinker.
Social Studies- We will learn about the various types of communities and how to be good citizens. We will pay particular attention to our school community as we try to learn about the people that we’ll work with and school rules.
Writing- We will identify and utilize the appropriate conventions of writing. We will also learn about each component of the writing process.
SSR (Silent Sustained Reading)- We will begin to set up routines in the classroom for this time. One of the most important things for the students and parents to focus on is choosing a book that is at their independent level. In class we will learn how to choose just right books, as well as those that we should be reading with our parents or teachers (instructional level).
