Events of the Week: We enjoyed a presentation by
Delta Dental about taking care of our teeth on Wednesday.
Math: We worked on making 10 this week with different number pairs. We
used a ten frame and counters to see how many more were needed to make 10. We
also worked on writing number sentences to match the ten frame. We completed
assessments on writing number sentences for ten and fluently subtracting within
5. Be sure to look over these assessments and continue working with your child
at home. We started unit 5 which focuses on the teen numbers and counting
to 100.
Language Workshop: We read several fiction and nonfiction plant books. We made our
own plant artwork and labeled their parts and needs. We planted
flowers and vegetables in our classroom to watch them grow over the next few
weeks.
Writing Workshop: We completed an informative writing piece about plants to hang in the
hallway with our plant artwork. Continue encouraging your child to write
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 “for”. We also worked
with the -ut, -un, and -ug word families. We are learning to make new words by
changing the beginning sound.
BOOK FAIR! Our class will go to the Buy One - Get One Free Book Fair on Monday during our library time. If you would like your child to purchase books, please send money in an envelope or baggie. Write his/her name and "book fair" on the outside. This is a great opportunity to stock up on books for summer reading!!
