Have a fantastic weekend! Mrs. C.
My goodness, time flies when you are learning! This week in MATH, we are continuing to add and subtract fluently to 10 and add and subtract to 20. We've been working on related facts (2+3=5, so 3+2=5 and 5-2=3. and 5-3=2) and adding three numbers. I am seeing such good progress. Some friends are still struggling with subtraction. Fortunately, these two learning goals are year long goals so everyone has time to reach them. We worked on fact family houses (related facts) today so those will come home. In COMMUNICATION ARTS,we've also been full of learning! In SHARED READING, we've been working on Asking and Answering Questions before, during, and after reading. We have been learning how to Close Read and learning the strategies to help us find what is important and the answers to the questions. You will see passages that the students color to help them match key words in the questions to the answer in the passage. In WRITING, we are working on writing narratives. We are trying to write beginnings, middle, middle, middle, and ends. We are working on writing good sentences. We are rereading what we write to edit and revise. We are also helping me edit and revise what I write. Students also work together to reread and revise what they write. Students wrote about something they are good at and those will be hung in the hallway. I do see nice progress in writing! In SPELLING, this week we did lesson 1 words with short vowels. This was a "practice" week so student won't stress. We've added working on Spelling City on our tablets to help us practice our words. We won't have spelling next week due to the short week. In SMALL GROUP PTR, students are working on spotting the vowel in words, reading real words, and segmenting and writing words. Next week is a short week. Our specials will be: Music, PE, Art. We will go to the library on Wednesday just to check out books. Wednesday is an early release and there is no school on Thursday and Friday. Conferences are Wednesday and Thursday and I am so looking forward to meeting with you to talk about your child's growth and progress!
Have a fantastic weekend! Mrs. C.
