NO
SCHOOL ON MONDAY!
Remember
the Winter Festival is tonight from
5:30-7:30 pm.
It should be great fun for the whole family.
This
Week: In math we
finished our unit on joining groups. We
learned how to use the + and = to write number sentences.
Our focus in reading this week was winter.
·
Language
Workshop—We read two informational
texts about winter, Winter and Exploring Winter. We reviewed the characteristics of
informational texts (table of contents, glossary and index). We listed key details from each text and wrote
about these details in our Reading Journals.
·
Writing
Workshop—We read Winter and made a list of vocabulary words (gloves,
skates, sled, coat, snowman). We added
this list to our Reading Journals. We
wrote a sentence every day using one or more of these vocabulary words.
·
Reading
Workshop—Students are working daily in Literacy Centers while I work in small
groups or one on one with students.
·
Word
Study— We learned about syllables this week and then practiced this skill
through a variety of games and activities.
**We have finished
learning the letters in the alphabet. Please work with your child if they do
not know all of the letters and sounds.

Reading Challenge
Thank you to all of the parents
that read with your child this week and returned their book bag and logs
today. If you did, then your child is
coming home with new books in their book bags today. If you did not, please return these on Monday
so that your child can get new books and can continue to work to earn the
Reading Challenge for 3rd quarter.
Next
Week:
- Our theme will continue to be winter. We will focus on fiction books.
- We will celebrate the 100th
day of school.

Have a great weekend!!
