Party Signup: Please consider signing up to
help during one of our classroom celebrations this year! We are especially looking for volunteers for
Halloween!
Math: We wrapped up unit three, Five and Ten Relationships. Up next is our fourth unit, Addition and
Subtraction Facts to 12. We will work in a similar manner with addition
and subtraction to nine as we did with addition and subtraction to nine earlier
in the year with manipulatives and ten frames.
Phonics: We are nearing the end of our third unit, which
focuses on digraphs. After the
assessment at the end of next week, we will begin our fourth unit which focuses
on the bonus letters spelling rule (pill,
cuff, fuss) and the glued sound all like in the word ball.
·
To mark or signify bonus letters in our
word work, we star the bonus letter.
·
To mark or signify glued sounds in our
word work, we box the glued sound.
Religion: Students are learning about Jesus and his family and how we
relate to our families, using the Holy Family.
Guided Reading: Guided reading continued this week. Every group spent time reading, and
completing a written assignment related to their book. The goal of the written
work is to ensure students have appropriate comprehension of what is read. Students worked to read independently,
chorally, and through page alternation in their small group. If you have
questions about what books might be appropriate for your child to read at home,
please let me know!
Have a great weekend!
