NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!
Events of the Week: Our theme
was plants. Despite the wet weather, the kids really enjoyed the egg hunt. We
found out the Mrs. Crim’s 3rd grade class won the penny war. Thank you
for helping raise more than $1,300 for our school!
Math: We continued to practice addition and subtraction within 10.
Your child should be able to complete a number sentence without
assistance at this point. If there are blank problems left on the page,
that is for your child to complete at home.
These pages do not need returned unless indicated. We completed an
assessment over fluently adding within 5.
Language Workshop: We read different books
about plants and talked about what plants need to grow. We also discussed the
parts of a plant.
Writing Workshop: We wrote sentences about
plants. We wrote about the parts of a plant and what they need to grow.
We are working on adding details to our writing. Our sentence writing is getting better every
day! Continue to practice writing sentences at home.
Reading Workshop: Students are working daily
in Literacy Centers. While students are working independently, I am
meeting with small groups to focus on different reading skills. During
independent reading time, students are practicing the skills they are learning
during small groups and using their reading strategies. I hope that you
are able to see them using these reading strategies when they are reading with
you at home.
Word Study: Our sight word was “was”. We also worked
with –en, -et, and –eg word families. We are learning to make new words
by changing the beginning sound.
