Dear Parents,
Welcome to my website. I will try my best to keep everyone
updated with the information you need for school. I will have special events,
holidays and reminders for you each week. Please continue to look for new
information by viewing my website.
For Language Arts, we have been learning the sounds of (N and R).
Next week, we wil review our writing skills and using sight words in a
sentence. We continued to work on independent reading in class.
I am working on Guided Reading skills with your children as well. We are
focusing on learning about the beginning, middle and end of the books. We
discuss in class how the children feel when they are hearing a story and
writing down their own thoughts about the story. We also discussed the small
moments they have in their lives and write about it. I am very happy with
their progress learning their sight words. Please ask your child to find
their sight words in books, magazines and news papers. Have them write them
in a simple sentence for practice.
For Math skills, we will continue to work on counting by 5s and
10s.We began to do number stories using manipulatives. We worked with
measuring objects and learning about the four coins. We continued with money
exchange. ( 5 pennies for a nickel )
Please work with your child writing the numbers 1-15. Ask them what comes
before and after that number.
In Science,we looked at different types of trees and labled each
one of them.
Please try and remember to return all homework and yellow
journals by Friday. The sight words need to go back into their folders when
you get done. We need them for class. Thank you.
Reminders: We have a half day on Wednesday, November 25th, 2009.
