Hi families!

You may have noticed that your child did not come home with a guided reading book for the weekend.  Our brand new guided reading books from our adoption are in the process of getting bar codes placed on them so we can check them out properly.  So, until they are returned to us with the bar codes, we will be pulling books that have been used in previous years.  On another note, the 2 groups I met with Friday did get to bring home books for the weekend!  I will meet with 2 groups Monday, and 2 groups Tuesday, then we should be back on track.  Just wanted to keep you informed as to where their books went!  Also, to continue our new nightly reading log responses, if your child does not have a guided reading book, they may use their library book or another book you may have at home until they bring their book bag home!  Thanks for your help!

Also, this coming week we are learning “ALL ABOUT BATS!”  If you have any BAT books at home we could borrow, please send them with your child’s name in it and I will return it when we are done!

Hello families!

This week we are focusing on the following concepts:

Reading:  Nonfiction, text features, guided reading groups

Math:  Odd/Even numbers, addition and subtraction word problems

Science/Writing: Animal Research

Please ensure that your child is reading their guided reading book nightly.  Even if they have the same book 2-3 nights in a row, it does not hurt them to reread it!  It will actually improve their fluency and comprehension!

Thank you!

We have had a busy week!  Here are a few highlights from our week so far!

• We are continuing our study on plot!  We read two great books: Horace, Morris, but Mostly Delores and Weekend with Wendell.  The theme of these two books was “friendship.”
• We had our second visit to the library on Tuesday!
• We are continuing our coin study in math.  We are working very hard to count mixed coins up to $1.00.
• To help out at home, have your child count a handful of coins! (4-5 at a time)
• We also reviewed “hairy money”  This is a fun strategy that really helps when counting!
• We will wrap up our week with math and literacy stations continuing on Thursday, then our spelling test and math test on Friday!

We have had a great start to our school year!  This week in ELAR, we are beginning phonics which will also include a spelling test over 15 words on Friday.  Please ensure that your child studies at home!

In math we will be working on our doubles addition facts, and doubles +1 facts!  We will be singing and listening to the “Doubles Rap!”

I encourage that your child reads 20 minutes each night.

Monday, September 2nd is a school holiday!  Enjoy your 3 day weekend!
