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
Phonics and are still practicing Daily 5.
In math we have been working on taking apart, taking from and subtraction
in story problems. 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. I really need you taking the time to listen to your child read. I have several who will be ready to move up a
level with in the next couple of weeks.
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.
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 2.
Remember, you can also order online. If
you would like to order online, just click the link at the bottom of my emails.
Spelling Words:
I
have included our first list of 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 (which will be on 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. There will also be a list on the blog if you
need it.
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.
