Today kicked off our year-long STEAM project as we begin learning about where our trash goes and how we can reduce our waste at Tritt. The kids were so excited to research this project and their minds are already churning with ideas and solutions. Check out some of their research on SeeSaw today.
We have been working hard on addition and subtraction strategies this week as well. You may notice some new strategies coming home in homework for these two operations. Please encourage your child to walk you through these new strategies. If they don't understand, that is okay right now. These strategies take practice and we are going to persevere until we have at least a few different ones that they feel comfortable with when problem solving. CogAT Testing will take place next week. We will be testing Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and testing begins first thing in the morning. Please try and get your child to school no later than 7:30 on these days. This will give them time to get settled, participate in a little morning exercise, and get mentally ready. Testing should last until approximately 8:45 each day next week. I will not be assigning any written homework for the week, but I will be asking that your child get a good night's rest, eat a good breakfast, and arrive on time for school. Here is a look at what we will be learning next week: Reading: Using text to describe character traits Writing: Personal Narrative Writing Part 2 Math: Word Problems (Addition and Subtraction) Grammar: Plural and Abstract Nouns *We will not have a new vocabulary list this week due to our testing schedule. Testing Dates: 9/4 - 9/6 = CogAt 9/9 - 9/12 = ITBS
