Hi Everyone!
Thank you for your patience with my updates in reading to the end. I know you're busy, and I appreciate the time you take to stay informed about what's happening in our classroom.
VGA Testing:
As you have seen in Mrs. Smith’s updates, we are scheduled to take the Fall Growth Assessment in Math and Reading next week. These assessments are given on the computer, so your child will need to make sure they bring their ChromeBooks fully charged next week.
Virginia Studies Chapter 2 Study Guide:
We have begun the second chapter of Virginia Studies, Virginia’s First Peoples. The study guide for this chapter went home in your child’s Take Home Folder today. It is double sided and contains quite a lot of content. Please make sure your child keeps it in a safe place and uses it to review often. The test is scheduled for Wednesday, October 13th.
Place Value Test:
We will take our Place Value assessment on Monday, October 4th. A study guide for this unit went home at the beginning of the week. Please help them review and prepare for our test. There are practice questions attached to the study guide that your child can complete for additional practice. They do not have to be returned, but I encourage the students to complete them in preparation for the test.
Virginia Studies Weekly Payment:
The Online School Payment Portal has finally opened. Please make sure to go on and pay for your child’s Virginia Studies Weekly Newspaper. These were noted on the supply list and we have already begun to receive and use them. You can log on from the Hutchison Farm website, or use this direct link. The newspapers are $8.15 per student. Please make sure that you have selected me, Kristen Rivera as the teacher, so your payment is processed under our class.
No School:
Just a reminder that there is no school on Monday, October 11th. Schools are closed for the holiday.
1st Quarter Interim Progress Reports:
1st Quarter Interim Progress Reports ("interims") will be issued today, Friday October 1st. If your child receives an interim, it will be emailed to you today using the email address on file in your ParentVue account. Not every student will receive one. You can update and/or verify your email address by logging into your ParentVue account. If you are unable to access your ParentVue account, please contact our school office. (I'm sorry; I'm not able to help you with this - you must contact the office.)
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
Reading: We will continue Reader's Workshop and read the book The Tiger Rising.
Math: We will take our Place Value/ Rounding Test on Monday and then begin our Addition and Subtraction Unit. The students will be able to find the sums and differences of numbers 999,999 or less using Partial Sum, Commutative Property and Associative Property
Virginia Studies: We will continue with Chapter 2 of Virginia Studies. In this chapter we will learn about the different tribes who settled in Virginia, the languages they spoke and how the way they lived related to where they settled in the state.
The weather this weekend looks to be nice! I plan on spending tomorrow at the ball field with my children (story of my life) and Sunday prepping my flowerbeds for the Fall! My children cannot wait to put up our Fall and Halloween decorations. I just need to fix up the flowerbeds before they begin decorating the weeds! 🤣
