Friday Note 9-11-15


FRIDAY NOTE (9/11/2015)

Grandparents Day Tomorrow

Math: In math, we learned about positional words (inside, outside, above, below, behind, left, and right).

Language Workshop: This week we read The Pledge of Allegiance and learned about our flag. We learned our school pledge and talked about respect.

Reading Workshop:  We continued our unit over reading routines.  This week we practiced picking out books and moving to our independent reading spot quietly. We also practiced staying in our reading spot during reading time.

Writing Workshop: This week we practiced correctly forming letters Tt and Gg.  Each day we write a daily message.  As a class we look for sight words, and the letters we are learning that week in the message. We have also introduced spacing, capital letters, and punctuation.   

Word Study: Our sight word for this week was “the”.  Students were able to engage in various Smartboard games to reinforce recognition and the sound the letters Tt and Gg make.
