Welcome back to another beautiful and busy Fall day.
This morning we started reviewing all 50 word wall words. There were 5 different ways we could practice them: rainbow write, pyramid write, across and down, vowels blue, and fancy writing. Ask me how to do each and I will show you. Mrs. G typed up the words for each of us to bring home so that we can practice in the evenings too.
Today was the last day with our Artist, Mrs. Stables. We split into smaller groups and met with her in the learning commons to put together our big, final project, using a variety of numeration strategies. We can't wait for all you to see the final project at the Winter celebration!
While half of us were working with Mrs. Stables, the rest of us did some "ketchups"
Home reading is coming home today. Each student has their own labeled bag. Inside the bag is a book, that your child chose to read to you, as well as 3 papers - one is the cover page, page 2 is a list of comprehension questions that you can ask following reading the book (you do not have to ask all the questions every night, however 2 or 3 would be good), and a log to fill in. Please return all items, in the bag, to school the following day, completed. I will check the log to see if it was completed, if so, I will put a sticker or stamp next to the parent signature and a new book will be chosen; if not, the book will be sent home again, as I will assume it did not get read the first evening.
This program is intended to help your child build reading fluency, comprehension, and develop a joy of reading. It will also help to keep you on track as to how your child is doing. Some of the books might be a little too easy or a little too hard, this is a good variation for the students to be challenged but still have confidence. However if you are noticing a trend that is not working, please let me know and I will adjust the program accordingly.
Reminders:
-Library tomorrow, please return books!
-Tomorrow is Picture Day
-Fun lunch forms are due back tomorrow
