Friday Note

Friday Note - 3/25/16

Progress Reports are coming home today. These are your copy to keep. If you have any questions email me at wengerk@clever.k12.mo.us or call me at 743-4810.

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 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.  We labeled the 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: We took our Spring NWEA test. We will talk about the results at parent teacher conferences.

Word Study: We practiced making words from other words. (example: Change pig to wig)

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.
