What we did during our week:<\/b><\/p>\n

Language Arts and Writing<\/b>: We worked on recognizing and writing the letter G<\/a> and the letter T<\/a>. These are the letters we have learned thus far: Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg \u00a0and Tt, Uu, Vv, Ww, Xx, Yy and Zz. \u00a0Make sure to focus on these letters at home to observe if your child has mastered each letter that was taught in class. \u00a0Also, please make sure to go over LIST ONE for the sight word list; make it \u00a0a part of their homework routine:) <\/span>\u00a0Our first sight word test will be THIS Friday November, 3rd<\/b>! \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u201c<\/span><\/i>Sight words are an important building block for early readers because they make up much of what a child will encounter when reading any book, worksheet or environmental print. \u00a0Children are encouraged and expected to recognize these words by sight; that is, to memorize them without sounding out or using other strategies.<\/span><\/i>\u201d -heidisongs.com <\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Remember parents, this test isn\u2019t about spelling the sight word, it\u2019s about recognizing the sight word and being able to read it with fluency and accuracy!<\/i><\/b> \u00a0<\/b>In December, we will start spelling tests, but for now just practice recognizing the words:)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Math:<\/b> We practiced recognizing, writing and representing numbers 15 and 16 and we learned what 3D shapes are (cube, sphere, cylinder, rectangular prism and cone)! \u00a0We will have a geometry test this Monday to see if the students know their 3D shapes! \u00a0Looking ahead, I will be teaching the students how to count by 5\u2019s and 10\u2019s to 100 in addition to counting by 1\u2019s:) \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Science<\/b>: We have ended our unit on Push and Pull with a science assessment and will move into Weather and Seasons starting in November. \u00a0We are cruising right along, that\u2019s for sure!\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Social Studies<\/b>: <\/span>As always, we are still working on how to get along with others by using the words like, \u201cplease,\u201d \u201cthank you.\u201d \u00a0November, we will begin to learn about needs and wants!<\/span><\/p>\n
