What We Did During Our Week:
We finished up our second round of computer testing, NWEA, the math portion. Your child’s score will be sent home at the end of September along with a progress report. These reports are just an informal snap shot so you can see how your child is doing! I’m aiming to send one home at the end of each month. 🙂
We continue to work on read to self, and have introduced work on writing as well. When they go to work on writing, they get to write about whatever they’d like! So, we made a heart map this week where they filled out what is important to them. They use this heart map as inspiration when they go to work on writing.
As you saw from open house, we also did a fun craft and wrote about “my future is so bright because”!
Math books have still not arrived from district, when they do they will be sent home and there will be daily math homework to complete.
First graders:
We are reviewing numbers that make 10, and going over what a “number bond” is. Your child should be able to know that 5 and 2 make 7, that 4 and 1 make 5, that 8 and 2 make 10, etc. We will be moving into addition and subtraction within this month.
For reading…book bags will begin to come home next week once we have finished assessing your child’s reading level. A reading response journal will also be in their book bag. Please read every night, and check the journal for an assignment.
Kindergartners: We are working on numbers to 10, and discussing sorting as well as distinguishing between things that are exactly the same versus things that are almost the same.
