Welcome to Dolvin! We are delighted to be working with your children this year!
The first week of school was spent getting acquainted and practicing routines and procedures. We practiced our school-wide drills and learned what is expected of all students in the classroom, bathroom, hallway, and cafeteria. We will continue to work on these expectations throughout the year and will need your help to continuously reinforce these good habits. This week we will begin working on instructional routines and subjects. Students will begin working on the math standards for this quarter based on their math levels. A family newsletter will be sent out with more information about the first units for ON., ADV., and ACC. math groups. In reading, we will begin our literary standards by reading stories and learning about characters and their traits and settings in stories. We will introduce students to the TEACH method in writing. TEACH stands for Topic Sentence, Evidence from the text, Add your own thoughts and feelings based on the evidence, Conclude your writing with a solid ending or conclusion, Have another look at what you wrote and check for correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. We will practice the TEACH method with narrative writing. Science and social studies will be alternated about every three weeks. We are starting with science and a unit on the habitats, plants, and animals of Georgia. Dates to Remember: Curriculum Night: Tuesday August, 21 Fall Picture Day: Wednesday August, 29
