READING: Please have your child read "Todd's Box" to you in their blue reading books. Review all highlighted words in the story. All books should be returned on MONDAY. We are working on short o words and word families.
In Reading Workshop, students are learning to make connections to their book. Students should be making connections throughout the book. This part of the book reminded me of.... Start getting your child in the habit of making connections to their book as their reading books to you. This will help them understand the story better and make their reading more meaningful.
SPELLING: Students took their practice test today. If they have a +10 on their test, they WILL NOT take the test on THURSDAY. However, please keep practicing these words because they may see them again. I was pleased with the scores this week. Please get in the habit of practicing spelling words EVERY NIGHT. The spelling list will continue to get harder as the year progresses. I have included a tab that gives you some ideas for practicing spelling.
MATH: We worked on telling time to the hour, tally marks, and complements (sums) of 10, and counting on the 100's chart . Also students, need to know their PHONE NUMBERS. I will be asking them within the next few weeks what their phone number is. YOU WILL BE SEEING MATH HOMEWORK COME HOME EVERY WEDNESDAY. IT WILL NEED TO BE RETURNED ON THURSDAY. I have noticed a lot of gaps in their math skills so I want to make sure everyone is on the same page. Please let your child DO their homework and you check over it. This will help them when their working in their math journals at school.
SCIENCE: We are discussing how plants and animals live in the different habitats.
SOCIAL STUDIES:Students are learning about their neighborhood and what street they live on. Does your child know their address??? If not practice this with them.
THINGS YOU CAN HELP YOUR CHILD WITH:
- tying their shoes
- bringing their show and tell
- start counting pennies
- start counting nickels
