Friday Note

 

Friday Note - 3/23/18

Events of the Week: Our theme was spring.  We spent the week learning about how the season affects plants, animals and people.  

Math: We continued to practice addition and subtraction within 10.  Your child should be able to complete a number bond and a number sentence without assistance that illustrates a number story.  Please take the time to look over your child’s math worksheet every evening to assure that they are understanding this important concept.

Language Workshop: This week we read two 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 how 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. We also reviewed opinion writing.  We wrote about our favorite season and gave reasons to support our opinion. Our sentence writing is getting better every day!  Continue to practice writing sentences at home.

Word Study: We introduced sight words “said” and “at”.  We also worked with –op, -ot, and

–og word families.

   There is still time to sign up for summer school!  We have a lot of exciting changes this year. Be sure to sign you child up soon!  You can register your child online at https://goo.gl/forms/LrrLDG7lGmGGWgWT2 or call the office (743-4810).  

Thank you to all the families that came to Parent/Teacher Conferences.  It is always nice to brag on how great the students are doing.

Reading Challenge

Our last reading challenge of the year is coming home today.  Please take a few moments each night to read with your child. It’s a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time together, but more importantly, it sends the message that reading and school are important.  Don’t forget: you can use the books from their book bags towards the challenge. The Reading Challenge is due Friday, May 18th.  Happy Reading!

Next Week:  

• We will learn about plants.   
• We will finish our unit in math on composing and decomposing numbers.
• Our sight words will be “was”.  

Have a great weekend!!
