Thursday Note - 3/29/18
NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!
Events of the Week: Our theme was plants. Despite the wet weather, the kids really enjoyed the egg hunt. We found out that Ms. Crim’s 3rd grade class won the penny war. Thank you for helping raise more than $1,300 for our school!
Math: We continued to practice addition and subtraction within 10. Your child should be able to complete a number sentence without assistance at this point. If there are blank problems left on the page that is for your child to complete at home. These pages do not need returned unless there is a note attached. We completed an assessment over fluently adding within 5.
Language Workshop: We read different books about plants and talked about what plants need to grow.The students made a flip book explaining what plants need to live and grow. Make sure to ask them to show you! Next week we will discuss the parts of a plant.
Writing Workshop: We wrote sentences about plants. We read the book The Tiny Seed and made a flower craft to go along with the story. The students then wrote what their favorite part of the story was on the flower pot. This week the students also answered the writing prompt: “What would happen if I planted a jellybean?” They had fun with that! We are also working on adding details to our writing. 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: Our sight word was “was” and our bonus words were “into” and “that”. We also worked with –en, -et, and –eg word families. We are learning to make new words by changing the beginning sound.
