***This week we are busy testing for Progress Reports. Progress Reports for Second Quarter are expected to go home on November 18. We will do our best to get all the testing done and have our Detailed Progress Reports filled out so you know the specifics for your child's grade. ***
FUN FRIDAY SNACKS~ We are in need of parents to sign up for Fun Friday Snacks. Please let us know if you are available to send in snacks for our 41 students. :) Email BOTH of us and we'll email you back with the next available date if no particular date is requested. :)
This week our Resources are ART, then a split P.E. and MUSIC. Wednesday is an Early Release Day and the last day to pay for our Field Trip to the Amazing Grace Crop Maze. Then on Friday our fun activity is Stuffed Animal Day. (Please make sure the stuffed animal fits into your child's backpack with it zipped up. The stuffed animals are only taken out inside our classroom and during Recess.)
READING SKILLS
Our rhyming is coming along nicely!! Please use the -ad Family to practice hearing the same ending sounds of the words. Also, we are practicing hunting for Sight Words in dum dum reading challenge books. (If they are not highlighted- please do it with them.) We are noting test sight words at Progress Report Time, but we practice them a ton so the students do well when the time comes.
Our Sight Words this week are: down, is, my & in
READING
We will be reading the book I Don't Want to be a Frog and various other books, to use to compare to our story last week. We will be discussing the similarities and differences of the frogs in our Fiction and Non-Fiction stories. The comparisons will include looks, actions, settings, etc.
We will also use a poem to discuss the lifecycle of a frog.
WRITING
We are going to be a taking a writing grade this week. The students drawings will not be part of the Writing Grade. The grade focuses on writing fundamentals that we have been teaching in class. So please make sure your child knows what is expected in a sentence.
MATH
We will be testing recognizing numbers 0-10, counting sets to 0, writing numbers 0-10, and identifying 2D and 3D shapes this week. We will continue to work on our Measurement unit. We've already started using math vocabulary words to talk about measurement including bigger, smaller, medium-sized, longer, shorter. Please continue practicing these words and all the skills that we'll be testing on with your child. Below, you can find a number writing video to refresh your child's memory for writing numbers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlfQhHQAUCY) and a video about different shapes we discussed last unit.
SCIENCE
Due to Wednesday's Early Release schedule and our testing throughout the week, we do not plan on having time for science.
