What We Did During Our Week:
(Sorry – dropped the ball on pictures for this week!)
Also – we have had a lot of ill children in our classroom this week, please emphasis washing hands and covering coughs at home! 🙂
Reading and Writing:
This week we introduced seesaw! You should have received a letter about it with a QR code. Please download the app on your phone so that you can see work that your child is doing in school! This is not homework, rather a fun way to interact with you child. You can like, comment, and leave voice recordings for them to hear while they are at school! 🙂
We worked on read to self this week, and work on writing. Specifically, we discussed that when we read we need to stop every couple of pages, and check for understanding. Comprehension is important for reading! If we don’t understand, then we can go back and re-read.
When they go to work on writing in their notebooks, they write a topic for the day of their choosing and write for 20 twenty minutes! It is during this time that I am working with them either one-on-one or in small groups.
Reading book bags have started to be sent home! Their book bags will come home every day! Please read these books every night. These books are at your child’s independent and instructional level, so they should be the ones reading the books. 🙂
1st grade:
In addition to their book bags, there is a reading response journal. Check these daily, because we will put prompts in there for your child to respond to during the night. These response journals help grow their comprehension skills.
Math:
We are still waiting on our math books from the district, once they arrive they will be sent home for daily math homework.
Kindergarten: We have worked on counting up and down from 10, and knowing that if you change the grouping of numbers, the number itself still stays the same.
1st grade: We have been working on number bonds to 10, and solving word problems. We will now be moving along to addition. Their first quiz will be on Monday! These will be sent home for you to see how they’re doing with math as we progress for this first unit.
