Review
of our week:
In Math we took our
Chapter 2 test. We started chapter 3,
Adding Strategies. In this chapter we
will be learning to add doubles, doubles plus 1, adding 3 numbers and other
strategies. I have made a copy of
flashcards. I would really like you to
take the time to practice these with your child. We
only had 1 person bring information about a Veteran. If you still have some you have not sent, you
can do it next week. We also had Smokey
Bear come for an assembly.
F.Y.I’s:
*Please make sure your child is brining at least a
jacket if not a coat everyday. It has
been pretty cold this week. We go out to
recess 3 times a day. They need
something to keep them warm.
* Library is on Thursday for our class. The last couple of weeks several in our class
has not brought their books back. The
reason we go to library is to get new books to read at home. Please make sure your child has their books
back on Thursday.
* I only had a couple of moms sign up to help with
the Christmas Party. If you would like
to help with that, please let me know.
It will be on Friday, December 20st at 1:00.
* As I was checking to see who met the reading
goal in October, I noticed that I had A LOT of students who are not turning in
their reading records and homework.
* I am sending home a fluency paper for
homework. We have done a couple of these
pages in class. I will send it back home
after I check it off, so they can practice at home. In January when we do Dibels, one of the
assessments is reading fluency. The
benchmark goal is 23 words per minute. I
do talk to my classs about how reading fluently is more than reading fast. I am going to start sending home some
passages to practice fluency next week.
I need to get a copy from my mom.
* If your child is absent you need to call the
office and excuse them. If the school
has not heard from you by 10:00, somebody will be calling you. Please take the time to call or send an
email. If you send a note to me, please
let the office know as well. I don’t
always get notes in time.
