Please read the
homework document carefully this week as some things have changed/are changing. Additionally, I have noticed
that some of my students are turning in incomplete homework. A lot of students
were missing the pattern work in their notebooks this past week. Please check
that all tasks are done before sending them in for me to check. I check
homework for completion every week and if I notice that something is missing, I
will write you a note. Thank you for working so hard with your children at
home! It is so appreciated.
The past several weeks, we did some formal assessments in all
subject areas. If there are any areas of concerns, I will contact you over the
next week. If you do not hear from me, your child is doing well with tasks
completed so far this year. I will be sending home some sight word list over
the next week or so for you to practice with your child.
We have started Guided Reading Groups.
My students are currently working on the strategies "Eagle Eye" (look
at the picture and think, "What is in the picture that begins with the
first letter") and "Lips the Fish" (say the beginning sound) to
help decode words.
We learned about subitizing this past week and got the chance to practice subitizing numbers on a dice. We will continue with dot cards, ten frames, and larger numbers. We have continued with representing numbers in many ways and will start word problems in the upcoming week.
