Welcome To Our Class

Welcome Back!!
I hope that everyone had a safe, enjoyable, and restful summer.
We will hit the ground running. Our first week will find our class reviewing the rules for both Frank Long and our class. We will being our study in Reading with a novel titled Because of Winn Dixie. In Math we will begin with place value, fluently adding/subtracting to/from 1,000 and rounding. In Science we will begin with the Habitats of Georgia and to round out our day we will use GA Weekly Studies for Social Studies. The Science Text and GA Weekly Studies have links in the right side bar of this blog so that students and parents can review the days lessons and study for tests. I have also included the Math text book as a reference. We will not work strictly out of the Math book, but will use it as a resource.
New this year is daily instruction and practice in cursive writing. Students are not to complete any work in cursive (class work or homework) until all instruction has been completed. I will let the students and you know when they can begin writing in cursive.
Homework will be given Monday through Thursday in Math, Spelling, and Reading/ELA. Spelling/Reading homework will come home on Monday via contracts. Math will be sent home daily. Occasionally students will have Science and Social Studies homework.
I look forward to teaching, learning, and growing with each student. I know that we will have an OUTSTANDING year!!
