Who would have thought that we were already at the end of October?!?! It's hard for me to believe that we are rolling into November this week! These next few months will continue to fly by, I'm sure.
We have a couple extra events this week:
Monday - Pajama Day
Tuesday - Orange and Black Day
Conferences are on November 9 and 14. Please sign up for a time if you still need to. A like to the sign-up was sent by email last Thursday. Here is the link for your reference: https://ptcfast.com/schools/NDLC. I am looking forward to meeting with all of you to share your child's growth and goals.
The Food Drive, which is organized by the National Honor Society at the High School begins on Monday. Please consider sending in any non-perishable food items for this event.
Curriculum Updates:
Reading ~ We are beginning to grow our knowledge through reading informational texts. Our learning for this unit centers around three main reading goals: identifying the main idea, questioning, and comparing and contrasting.
Writing ~ Our Informational Writing Unit officially begins this week. We will take what we are learning as readers and put many of those same skills into our writing. We will be writing to teach on topics that we are experts on or topics we have researched.
Math ~ Students did well on the first unit test. They will be shared at conferences. Unit 2, Adding and Subtracting to 200, begins with reviewing numbers to 200. We will work to understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones. In this unit students will have a mix of standard equations and story problems with numbers through 200.
Content ~ We will continue studying maps and the geography of Kaukauna in comparison to the rest of our state. We will explore four types of maps through centers this week: road maps, product maps, elevation maps, and population maps. Please remember to complete the homework by this Friday. A copy of the assignment can be found here.
Have a GREAT week!
Kathy
