Friday Note: April 10,
2015
Events of the Week: Our theme was plants. We
planted flowers and vegetables in our classroom garden!
- Language Workshop: We continued reading
books about plants. We made our own
plant artwork and labeled their parts and needs.
- Writing Workshop: We continued writing
about plants. We are working on
writing complete sentences that describe or tell, instead of “I like…”
sentences. 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: We continued building
and spelling simple words. We
practiced building words with letter tiles and practiced writing the
sounds we hear in simple words.
Stretching and spelling simple words is easy to practice in the car
or while writing with your child.
- Math: We began a unit on decomposing numbers 11-19. Each day we practiced breaking the
numbers down into a set of 10 and left over ones. Please look over your child’s math work
mats with them to support what we are learning in our classroom.
