ELA

Reading – I started our Developmental Reading Assessments. They take a really long time to complete. I’m holding off on reading groups until they are completed. Remember, we are constantly reading and writing with our Benchmark learning. This reading is right on grade level too.

Writing – We are writing about jobs during the writer’s workshop. This is cross-curricular learning with social studies. This is informational writing.

Spelling – Yes, we will have spelling this week. This week we will work on three letter blends at the beginning of words.

• splash
• split
• strap
• stretch
• squid
• squint
• sprint
• spring
• when
• because
• from
• their

Math

We will take our Mid module assessment. On this summative assessment, we will be making a ten with the addends 7, 8, and 9. A 9 needs a 1 to make a ten. An 8 needs 2 to make a ten. 7 needs 3 to make a ten.

Social Studies

We are learning about jobs. A job is work that people do. People get paid money for the work that they do. We use the money to purchase what we need and want. We need: food and water, shelter (a house), and clothing. We also need love, but that is free. Some jobs provide a service. Some jobs make or grow goods for us to buy.

Have a wonderful last week before our winter break. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your support to start our school year. I look forward to starting 2023 as your teaching partner.
