Friday Note

Events of the Week:  

Math: In math, we completed our unit on measurement.  We have been using math words, such as length, longest, shortest, height, taller, capacity, weight and so on.  Ask your child to put your family members in order from tallest to shortest.

Language Workshop:  Our theme this week was Colors.  Our big book for the week was Rain.  We’ve been focusing on naming the parts of a book (front cover, back cover and title page).  We also have been learning to name the jobs of both the author (writes the words) and illustrator (draws the pictures).  Look for these assessments in your child’s folder.  As always, if he/she is not proficient in these skills, then please practice them at home because I will reassess at least one more time before the end of the quarter. 

Reading Workshop: We continued Literacy Centers this week.  I was able to meet with some small groups to work on making a color book and practicing color words.  Other students were engaged in individual and small group work on several literary skills we have learned so far.   Very proud of my class and how well they are doing with this. 

Writing Workshop:  We continued to work on the correct way to write letter of the alphabet.  We worked on correctly forming the letters Cc and Hh. The sight word we learned was “like”. 

Word Study:  We continued our letter study by learning the letters Cc and Hh.  We worked on identifying each letter, writing it correctly and saying its sound.

Reading Journey

I hope you are finding time each day to read with your child.  Make this a special time for you and your child and have fun!  I love hearing what your child is reading at home and the different places they are reading around the house.  When reading with your children, please encourage them to point out our sight words and letters we have learned.

The Cox Care Mobile is scheduled to be at Clever Schools on October 6, 2016.  The Care Mobile is a medical office on wheels that provides FREE services for children ages birth to 18 years.  You may call the school nurse to inquire about the services provided, to schedule an appointment and to receive the necessary paperwork.  Thank you!
