Friday Note 2-10-17

  FRIDAY NOTE - 2/10/17

This Week:  Love was in the air. We made valentines for our classmates during center time and enjoyed the valentine party on Friday. Thank you so much to all the parents who helped make the party a success.

·         Math- We continued to work on addition and making 10. I will finish up addition assessments and we will begin subtraction in the coming week. 

·         Language Workshop— We continued working on our project based animal research project. The class really enjoyed researching their animals and sharing what they learned. I hope you enjoyed the videos I put on Seesaw.

·         Writing Workshop—As a class, we wrote about pictures of animals. We are still practicing making complete sentences.

·         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 did a lot of blending and segmenting words.  For example, I gave students a word like CAT, and they had to tell me the sounds they hear in the word, C-A-T.  We played several games and activities to practice this skill.

Important Dates:

o   Feb. 16:  Cox Care mobile

o   Feb. 17:  Jump Rope for Heart form and money due

o   Feb. 20:  No School

Book Bags

Keep reading and returning the book bags every Friday.  Also, please encourage your child to read these books several times before returning them.  It would be best if you are reading the books each night.  Please take care of these books while they are at your house. 

  

The Character Word for February is:

Tolerance

(accepting other’s differences)

Sight Words—Keep practicing!

I   is   like   see   my   a   the   be   have   it   he   she

   to   can   with   go   we   me   you   and   are  they

Library Books

Remember to please take care of the library books while they are at your house.  A good idea is to keep the library book in your child’s backpack when it is not being read.  Library books are due back each Thursday, so your child can check out a new book.

         

Next Week:

·         We will learn about the universe.

·         We will finish addition and start subtraction.

·         Our sight word will be “of”.

Have a Great Weekend!!
