The children are working hard on learning the routine and procedures of Daily 5. They are working hard to build stamina during Read to Self and Read to Someone. We have worked up to 17 minutes for Read to Self. The children are doing great reading quietly and have learned 3 ways to read a book and what EEKK means. (Ask your child if he/she knows what this means?) We did a great job this past week with turning in our homework. (Please be sure to turn it in each Friday) Your child will receive the new homework on the Monday of each week. We will be working on our global address this week. Please help your child to put his/her address in his/her agenda so we can access it during our Social Studies activities this week. We worked hard last week on the l blends during Phonics time. We will be working on the R blends this week during this time. The children did a great job this week with their first spelling test. We are learning how to take a test. We will be going into Place Value with ones and tens this week. We are working on ways to show numbers during Number Talks. We have been discussing the 7 Habits and what it means to be a leader. We are working hard to be respectful to one another and in the hallways to show respect towards students learning in their classrooms.
Helpful Reminders for the Classroom:
- Please be sure to initial/sign your child's agenda each night. Please use the agenda for communication purposes with me when needed. (transportation change, etc.)
- Please be sure to pack your child a healthy snack each day along with his/her agenda and take home folder.
- Please place all money in an labeled envelope with your child's name and what the money is for etc. on the envelope.
- Please note that your child may bring a water bottle each day. They need water after recess and can get hot due to the temperatures right now if he/she would like to bring one.
- We are always in need of healthy snacks for the classroom when someone may not bring a snack as we all forget from time to time.
- Please help your child to practice his/her address as well as his/her student ID number as they use it for many different activities and times throughout the day. It can really help things to move on quickly when he/she can login with their student ID numbers.
