Events of
the Week:
- Math: We
have started learning to compose and decompose numbers 11 to 19 into sets
of tens and leftover ones. We are also writing the number sentence
to match (example: 10 + 8 = 18). IXL is a great way to practice at home.
- Language Workshop: This week we
continued our Author Study on Laura Numeroff. We read several “If
you give books”. The students enjoyed hearing about the cat, dog, pig, and
moose. We identified the characters and setting in each of the books and
compared the stories. We are putting a packet together that includes
our response pages from this author study.
- Writing Workshop: We continued
series of events writing. We wrote about the If You Give a Cat a
Cupcake book. We also completed our first series of events
writing assessment by writing about our morning routine.
- Reading Workshop: We are
continuing to work every day on applying the reading strategies to figure
out unknown words in our books. I am excited about the
progress the girls and boys have made so far this year. I will be
assessing end-of-year reading levels beginning next week. Please
encourage your child to use the reading strategies when he/she is reading
with you at home.
- Word Study: Our sight words
for the week were “no” and “so”. We spent the beginning of the week
reviewing building and spelling simple words. We completed the
assessments this week also. Be sure
to look over these assessments and continue to work on these skills at
home. If your child does not know
all of his/her letter sounds, please be practicing daily with them.
