Next Week In M3...

How is August already almost over?? This year is flying by! I loved getting to see you all at Open House on Wednesday. Thank you so much for taking the time to come see our classroom. The kids were thrilled to see their letters from you on Thursday morning.

Reminders & Annoucements:
- I will submit our Scholastic book order next Friday! We've had lots of orders already which means lots of free books for our classroom! Thanks for all who have ordered. I know your kiddos are going to love the books you've chosen. I have told a couple of parents, you can look up books that are on your child's individual reading level on the website if you are specifically looking for that.
- Next Wednesday is early release! Please be sure to send in a note for different transportation
- KSE night at the Braves order deadline has been extended! You can order until 8/31
-Please sign and return the performing arts form that went home. This is your child's permission slip to go to see The Nutcracker in December.
- 8/27 is the last day to enter the VIP Parking raffle
- There will be a meeting in the 2-5 Learning Commons on 9/6 at 6:30pm to update on the rebuild
- There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday 9/3
- Tonight is spirit night at Monterrey Mexican Restaurant! 20% of all dine in and take out orders will go back to our PTA



What we're learning:
Reading: Finishing up story structure and moving into using illustrations and words to better understand the story
Writing: Learning how to write a narrative - focusing on powerful beginnings this week
Grammar: Using mentor sentences to continue learning about proper nouns (focus on places ie: store = Target)
Phonics: CVCe words
Math: Comparing numbers with place value review and learning how to show numbers in different ways (written form, number form, expanded *507 + 500 + 0 + 7 and base ten blocks)
Content: Finishing up Georgia regions and learning the rivers of Georgia


*Spelling starts next week. I will send home a spelling choice board on Monday with the homework. The choice board is not required but it is great practice. They can reuse the same board each week. Keep in mind that these words may be very easy at first and will get more difficult as we go.
