Hello everyone
Hope the weekend is going well. Great day for my Junior Wolverines and also the "Big Wolverines":)
Week 3 coming up and things are heating up! Good first two weeks of community building and routines set up.
NWEA
On Monday, we take the first of two tests for the first go around with the NWEA. This will be a test on Reading. We take it after lunch at 1pm.
MATH
We have a math groups day on Thursday. This is a great day for folks to come in and help out with games. I have parents for this Thursday, but if you are interested in helping out on future Thursdays (9:15-10:15) Below is the schedule for the week. There are suggestions for EDM games play for students at home. This is not an assignment, it is just there for kids to experiment with games that reinforce what we are working on in the unit.

Science-we are starting our unit on Nature's Recyclers this week. Should get our worm bin this week. Look for a parent letter.
Social Studies- we started our unit on the different social sciences that go into the discussion of social studies. This is a part of our year long look at the 5 USA regions. We got our login info for the TCI website and started reading and responding to text.
Reading - we started reading, and writing about our reading, in our reading response journals.
Writing - we will begin talking about the writing genre of personal narratives this week which will eventually lead us to writing our own narratives.
Word Study - first week of word study went well. Kids mostly worked on words they misspelled from our "Spelling Demons" tests. We will also begin a daily language piece that works on grammar.
FIELD TRIPS
Island Lake Huron River trip with Leslie Science Center - this trip is taking shape and it looks like we will taking a bus to the river on Wednesday, September 24. If this time/date sticks, and you are interested in visiting with us, we will be on the river from 9:15 to 1:45 that day. Kids will need to bring cold lunches that day for our mid trip picnic. Think good weather:)
Thursday, September 25 we are going with our Middleton buddies on a walk to Byrd Hills from 9 to 10:25. Come with us if you are interested. We started buddies this week and it looks like a great match.
Kerrytown / Community trip with our buddies. It looks like we will go on either October 8 or 15 to Kerrytown with our buddies. Stay tuned on this one, as dates and times with lock up soon. We visit Community High School after a walk through The Farmer's Market. This is a great trip! Come join.
Ok, that's all for now. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
