Agenda for the week

 

Reading/writing  We worked on the letter Mm.  Please continue helping your child write their first and last name at home.  We are continuing with writer’s workshop and are learning how to draw a picture and label it or write about it.   We are learning to stretch our words and write the sounds we here and we are learning to put a period at the end of our sentence. Keep practicing your letters and sounds. I will be testing the students weekly to see how many letters they can identify.  In order for your child to be ready for kindergarten they must be able to identify all capital and lowercase letters and make the sound of every letter.  DON’T FORGET TO DO READING EGGS AT HOME 3 DAYS A WEEK. I will be giving “hoots” to students who do Reading Eggs at home.  We are learning about characters and setting in our stories.

 

Math   We are working on numbers from 0-10. Please  have your child work on Math Seeds 3 days a week.  We are working on counting to 20. We are learning to show the value of a number in different ways.  We are using our fingers, ten frames and tally marks to represent a number. We are playing math games in math workshop to help us learn numbers and their values.

Social  Studies  We are learning about needs and wants. We made a turkey to show what we are grateful for this Thanksgiving.

Science  We are learning about different kinds of weather.  Next week, we will become weather watchers and forecasters.

Please make sure to empty the green folders each night! It is very difficult and time consuming to locate homework or important notes when the folder is full of papers from the day before. Remember to initial the communication log and feel free to add any notes to me!

Snack   Please remember to send only healthy snacks like fruit, vegetables, and cheese and crackers.  PLEASE DO NOT SEND IN CANDY OR CHIPS FOR SNACK.
