What we did during the week:
This week we continued to get to know one another, our classroom, and our routines. We introduced our class pet! It is a hermit crab, and the kids have named him Snappy. 🙂 We also introduced “Read to Self”. They are reading for 5 minutes independently! We taught that there are three ways to read a book…
- Read the words
- Read the pictures
- Retell a story
Friday we took our NWEA reading test, and we will be taking NWEA Math within the next 2 weeks. I will share out these results after both tests have been complete.
Next week we start our academics! We will be learning two letters a week, and starting our math curriculum. A math book will be coming home on Monday – this book stays at home. We do one lesson a day, starting with lesson 1. In addition, a homework packet will be coming home, There is one sheet per day with directions on how to complete each sheet. Please put the completed packet in your child’s green folder every Friday to be turned in.
A few reminders…
Please send your child in gym shoes on Tuesday and Friday –Â they cannot participate unless they are in gym shoes.
If you could please separate their snack from their packed lunch this would make mornings much faster. Right now some are trying to eat their lunch during snack time, or spending too much time rummaging through lunch boxes to pick out a morning snack. Find a pocket that is easily accessible for the snack – thank you!!
If your child does not know how to tie their own shoes please send them in Velcro, tying shoes takes up a lot of time.
Next Friday is a half-day for all students, pick up is at 11:40.
Thanks for your help and understanding!
