Events
of the Week:
Our theme
was spring. We spent the week learning
about how the season affects plants, animals, and people.
Language Workshop: This week we read three
informational books about spring. The
students wrote about key details they learned from the books. We discussed the changes we are seeing
outside. We learned about the weather
changes in spring and how the behavior of animals and people change as
well.
Writing
Workshop: We
looked at several spring pictures and wrote sentences about what was in each
picture. We are working on adding detail
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: Each day we practiced
building sight words. We practiced
writing those words in handwriting lines with the letters formed correctly.
Math:
We started a new unit called Composing Numbers 11 to
19. For each number, we are putting that
many counters in ten frames. Then we are
figuring out the parts that make up each number (such as one set of 10 plus 5
leftover ones equal 15). Please look over your child’s math
page each night and continue to practice this skill at home.
