Week in Review 8/21-8/25

Hey there! It's been an eventful week here in the Fisher Baker classroom. With the completion of our second full week, we are enjoying getting to know our new students and their families. We are also starting to gel as a group and learn where our strengths lie. This year's kiddos have great attitudes and are ready to take responsibility when they need to fix something. Taking responsibility for doing spelling homework is definitely something that needs to be fixed. Next week will be another spelling week, so watch for this homework to be coming home Monday-Thursday. Though we have some homework issues to address, we've had a positive and productive week here.

This Week in Academics:

• We safely viewed the solar eclipse. (So cool!)
• We began reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.
• We practiced identifying and using nouns and adjectives. 
• We multiplied and divided numbers by 10 / 100 / 1,000 / 10,000 etc. by moving digits on a place value chart.
• We began our spelling homework routine.
• We took our baseline district Synergy Quest assessments for math and reading.

Looking Ahead:

• We will have spelling homework again next week.
• Mon: Definitions
• Tues: Definitions
• Wed: Synonyms and Antonyms
• Thurs: Sentences
• We will be sending home the Traveling Folder with assessments from the last two weeks. Be sure to sign and return it, and discuss these quizzes with your child by next Friday.
• Please return any lingering forms and Arizona residency documentation.
• Magnet Monday will begin on Monday! 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Ms. Baker, Ms. Fisher, and Ms. Gearhart (Student Teacher)
