Week of Sept. 23

This week is Book Fair!  We will preview the books and bring home “wish lists.” If you’d like to purchase books, you’re welcome to send money with your child OR come during our lunch/recess time and shop with your child. It will be open on Thursday until 5:30 as well.

This Friday is the end of the 1st reporting period.  Don’t forget to have your child turn in his/her reading log. “Reach for the Stars”…  The children will be rewarded with class store money!

For hygiene purposes, please send a set of headphones in a baggy labeled with your child’s name if you have not.  We are starting computer lab!

In Language Arts this week, we will…
·        Reread, check and fix our writing
·        Celebrate our writing.
·        Use a library voice while we read
·        Discover what kind of books we enjoy
·        Learn how to get ready to read
·        Review reading workshop procedures
·        Build our vocabulary with a weekly read-aloud. We will be introduced to 3 new words.  All week, we’ll keep track of when we use them in our writing, speaking, or see them in our reading.  The new words will be posted so that we will have a reference for future use.
·        Read word family poems to reinforce the patterns that many words have
In Math, we will…
·        Find the area of yarn shapes
·        Graph our pets
·        Count and graph farm animals
·        Continue to solve our problems of the day.  We use “CUBES” strategies.  (Circle the numbers, Underline key words, Box the question, Ex out extra information, and Show our work)
·        Visit our math stations. Each station will have a math activity that reinforces concepts that we are currently learning or have previously learned. Your child will also be able to visit “First in Math” at some point this week.

In Science, we’ll learn about safety.
