return by 12:15. Students should bring a
bag lunch, snack and water bottle for the trip.
Upcoming Star of the
Week: Jillian Padden
Reading: Check
our making predictions lesson below on the blog!
Math: We completed
our second unit, Understanding Subtraction.
This week we worked with stories about missing parts and subtraction
problem solving through acting out problems.
We completed the unit assessment today which will be returned next week. On Monday we will begin our third unit, Five
and Ten Relationships. We will begin by
representing numbers in a ten-frame, recognizing numbers in a ten-frame, and
exploring parts that make up ten.
Phonics: This week in phonics we completed our second
unit, which focused three sound short vowel words, punctuation and proofreading
procedures, and trick words. We had an
assessment on this unit today which will be returned next week. Our third unit will focus on digraphs, which
is two letters working together to make one sound like in the word ship.
Religion: In
Religion we discussed guardian angels both in class and during our school
mass. Next week we will begin discussion
of Jesus and his family.
Science: Check out our five senses tasting experiment
below on the blog!
Guided Reading: We will begin Guided Reading next week. The information that I gathered about student
reading levels through the Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment has helped
me place students in small groups for direct reading instruction. Mrs. Arbuckle and I will work with students
several times during the week using books are at your child’s reading level.
Thank you to Kate and Aaron for their great work at mass yesterday for our pet blessing!
Have a great weekend!
