Whew! Can you believe a whole week is over already?! How time flies... I have to say that I truly love this class! Everyone is so respectful and hardworking! I'm also very proud of how they work together. I've learned so much about them and have shared many laughs this week!
Thanks so much for helping with the All About Me bags. Everyone really enjoyed sharing and listening to others share. Even Mr. Watkins participated!
Here's what we'll be doing next week:
Language Arts: We're beginning with the Reading Process... our first lessons being about "Before" Reading strategies. Your child will hear purpose, preview, and plan a lot this week! Our before reading strategies will focus on Fiction and Nonfiction.
Math: My math class will be continuing with adding and subtracting using different strategies. A lot of word problems will be used to focus on these skills.
Writing: We're beginning our traits for good writing. Our first is Ideas - a note will be coming home asking for your child to bring in an object they can write about.
Social Studies: Our first unit of Social Studies is Geography. This week we'll be focusing on maps and globes.
Word Study: The /f/ sound is our first focus this year.
I am soooo excited to say our class has already earned 10 Soaring with Pride stickers... and it's only Thursday! Please ask your child how they've earned them!
Some reminders: please check your child's take-home folder daily. If there are papers in the "Keep at Home" pocket, please take them out. Always initial your child's agenda. It helps me know that you are checking your child's work.
Well, I think I've rambled on long enough. Hope to see all of you at Back to School Night on September 7th.
Have a great weekend!

WELCOME! This is the place where I will post information every week about the goings on in our classroom. I am so excited for the upcoming year...we are going to have a great time together while learning sooooo many new things!
I hope to get a chance to meet you all on Friday, August 20th from 3-4pm at the UES Open House...feel free to bring your school supplies and put them in your desks that afternoon...it will make the backpack a lot lighter Monday morning!!
When you get to the classroom...look for your desk...on it will be a Scavenger Hunt to help you become familiar with the classroom and our surroundings.
If you'd like to communicate with me BEFORE the 20th....maybe you'd like me to know what name you like to be called, or you'd like to tell me something interesting about your summer, or maybe you just have a question...please feel free to email me... faith.humerick@fcps.org
