Friday Note 10-28-16

FRIDAY NOTE (10/28/2016)

Math In math, we reviewed counting, reading and writing numbers 0 to 10. 

Language Workshop This week we finished our author study on Mercer Mayer.  We read his series of books about finding unusual things in hidden places around the house (There’s a Nightmare in my Closet, There’s Something in my Attic, There’s an Alligator Under my Bed, and There are Monsters Everywhere.)  With each book we discussed story elements (characters, setting, and sequence of events). 

Reading Workshop We continued practicing the expectations for Literacy Centers when the teacher is working with small groups.  We also read the predictable reader I can.  We discussed how we can look at the picture when trying to read an unknown word. 

Writing Workshop Our sight word was “be”.  We practiced it by using it in the predictable chart, “For Halloween, I will be ____.” 

Word Study We learned about the letters “Vv” and “Xx”.  Don’t forget to practice letter and sound identification with your child at home.  Our goal is for every student to know all 52 letters by Christmas.

Content Workshop We read several Halloween books.  On Friday, we had our Halloween Party!  Thanks to everyone who helped make our party a big success!
