Friday
Note 1/09/15
I hope you all had a great
Christmas and were able to spend a lot of time with your families.
This
Week: In math we started learning to join groups.
Our focus in reading
this week was on the gingerbread man.
Here’s what we did in each workshop:
·
Language
Workshop— We read several different
books about gingerbread. We read Gingerbread
Baby and reviewed what characters are. We read The Gingerbread
Man Loose in the school and reviewed what the setting of the book is. We
read The Gingerbread Cowboy and practiced retelling the beginning,
middle, and end of the story. Each day
we drew and labeled a picture and added it to our Reading Journal. We also read
The Gingerbread Pirates and The Gingerbread Girl.
·
Writing
Workshop—Each day after listening to the book we wrote a sentence in our
journal about something that happened in the book. They are working very hard
on their writing each day.
·
Reading
Workshop—Students are working daily in Literacy Centers while I work in small
groups or one on one with students.
·
Word
Study—Our sight word was “you”.
**We
have finished learning the letters in the alphabet. Students should be able to identify all
letters and know the sounds they make.
Please work with your child if they do not know all of the letters and
sounds.
**2nd Quarter Progress
Reports are coming home today. Please
look over it and work with your child on the skills they have not mastered
yet. This is your copy to keep. Let me know if you have any questions at

Please read the letter that is in the bag. It includes information regarding our 3rd
