The students were able to meet my maternity leave sub, Mrs. Frazier, on Thursday! We were so glad she was able to come and spend the day with us. She will be back again on Monday, and then will return next when my leave begins.

In the Classroom
In math this week, students practiced multiplying, dividing, calculating elapsed time, and comparing masses! On Wednesday, we figured out how long a day was by looking at sunrise and sunset data. We had fun learning about how many hours and minutes of daylight we have had these first two weeks of September. We will take our first assessment in math next week.
In writing this week, students began filling their notebooks with personal narratives. We made a special person/pet/object web and also drew a special place map to help inspire us in our stories. We also learned our first two cursive letters, l and h. Cursive homework will come home on Wednesday and is due back by Friday. Students are expected to write at least 4 letters per line and 2 words per line.
In reading this week, we began learning about story elements. We used our new read aloud book, Kensuke's Kingdom, to study character traits and setting. Next week, we will focus on problem/solution and plot.
In social studies this week, we finished our study of national symbols. We also talked about what being a good citizen in our community looks like.
