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. Today we played subtraction bingo with fruit
loops and they did great!
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 continued to
work on opinion writing. We wrote our
last opinion piece about our favorite part of school. Students did well getting their thoughts down
on the opinion organizer, then they were able to transfer that information to
the "published/clean copy”. Our sentence writing is getting better every
day! Continue to practice writing
sentences at home.
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 introduced sight words “said” and
“at”. We also worked with –op, -ot, and –og
word families. Bonus words this week
were “came” and “say”.

or call the office (743-4810).
Thank
you to all the families that came to Parent/Teacher Conferences. It was wonderful to see the pride in each
child as they shared their work with you. J
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 May 21st. 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” and bonus words “that” and “into”.
Have a great weekend!!
