Greetings from Room 116!

Thank you again for helping students to successfully transition back to school. We have already started internalizing daily routines, which will help us to maximize our time on learning. This week, we set individual academic goals and classroom rules.

Following is a brief recap of the rest of our busy week:

ELA: We discussed the key elements of non-fiction and practiced reading this genre. We also reviewed the “short a/i” vowel patterns and enjoyed several more interactive read alouds about persevering through challenges.

Math: We explored the relationship between multiplication and division, focusing on the number of equal groups, the size of the group, and the total number of items (factor x factor = product and dividend/divisor = quotient).

Science/SS: We began a year-long study of Weather with some interactive videos and hands-on explorations. We also worked on several self-reflection activities and set personal objectives for the first half of this school year.

Other: We reviewed Library/Technology routines and learned more about our iPads.

Please note that the EHBi Open House will take place on Thursday, September 19th. I look forward to meeting everyone then. Have a lovely weekend!

Sincerely,

Ms. Feeney
