Review of our Week:
We
finished our alphabet review this week.
We have also started some new things and they are going well. We started
Word Work and Phonics and are still practicing Daily 5. In math we finished Chapter 1 Adding Concepts
and will be starting on Chapter 2 Subtraction Concepts. We wrote about what we want to be when we
grow up, I will share those with you next week.
We have also been practicing syllables and rhyming words.
Homework:
It
is very important that your child is doing their reading for 20 minutes every
night. Reading Records are due on Fridays. I really need you taking the time to listen to
your child read. I have several who have
already moved up levels. I can tell they
are reading at home. As I start reading
with each child next week, I will be able to see who else is ready to move.
Spelling Words:
If
you look on right hand side of the blog, there are next weeks spelling
words. We have 5 regular spelling words
and also a word family. We will practice
these 5 words and all the words that will go in the word family every week in
class. A couple of years ago, I decided
to add some challenge words. We will not
practice the challenge words at school.
Your child can practice them at home and they will get extra points on
their spelling test (Fridays) if they are able to spell them correctly. I really encourage you help your child learn
at least one of the challenge words.
There will be 4 challenge words every week. If you have any questions please let me know. I have also sent a list home with your child.
Book
Order:
I am
sending home the October book orders. If
you would like to order books they need to be turned in by Thursday, October 3.
I wanted to do earlier, but I didn’t get the book orders until it was too late. Remember, you can also order online. There is a new code for our class. It is L9GWX.
If it doesn’t work, let me know.
FYI’s:
* I just wanted to thank
you all for sending the snacks when your
child was the leader. Please make sure your child is getting a good
breakfast.
*
Remember to keep saving those Box Tops.
* When it starts to get
cold outside, please make sure your child is bringing a coat or a jacket everyday.
*
SEP’s are next week, please remember when your appointment is.
Also, school gets out at 2:30 everyday (even on Wednesday).
* I posted some pictures
of field trip on the blog.
