Friday Note - 1/6/17

I hope you all had a great Christmas break and were able to spend a lot of time with your families.

Events of the Week:  

• Language Workshop— We read and discussed different winter fiction books.  We also learned how to tell a fiction book from an informational text.

• Writing Workshop—We wrote about our Christmas break, and the snow day.The students are working very hard in their writing.

• Reading Workshop—We practiced new literacy center games.

• Word Study—Our sight word was “you”.  We practiced building our sight words with magnetic letters.  

• Math—We reviewed part-part-whole number relationships and number bonds.  This knowledge is the foundation for joining groups (addition), which we will begin next week.

BOOK BAGS!

Your child is bringing his/her book bag home for the first time today.  There are letters in the book bag.  Please read these carefully.  They include important information regarding your child’s book bag and ways to help your child become a better reader. The bag, books, and signed log need returned every Friday!!

Next Week:

• Our theme will be Winter.  We will read informational winter books.
• We will begin our unit on addition.
