Agenda for the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reading\/Writing:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We read a book called \u201cHow to Catch a Leprechaun\u201d by Adam Wallace. The children came up with a topic sentence together. The topic sentence was \u201cI know how to catch a leprechaun.\u201d Then the children came up with their own individual plan on how they would catch a leprechaun and wrote about it using the transition words first, next, then, last. To conclude the paper with a summary sentence, the children told how they felt or how the leprechaun felt in the story. We used our narrative writing rubric to grade our papers together and see if it was a smiley face paper. The children are enjoying using our writing rubrics and you will see these rubrics coming home soon! The leprechaun writing will go up on our bulletin board for the month of March and then come home at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

Spelling words for next week will be in the homework packet coming home on Monday<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Please continue to have your child practice writing at home. Here is what I am looking for in class:<\/p>\n

Uppercase to start the sentence<\/p>\n

End punctuation (. ! ?)<\/p>\n

Finger spaces between words<\/p>\n

Does the sentence make sense? Are the words in the correct order?<\/p>\n

Does the picture match the words?<\/p>\n

Did you stretch your sentence? (Is there a noun, adjective, and verb?)<\/p>\n

Math:\u00a0<\/strong>We took our +8 math quiz. \u00a0I sent the the +9 flashcards home today. We will take the +9 quiz on Friday, March 10th<\/span>.<\/p>\n

This week continued learning about comparing numbers using the greater than, less than, and equal to symbols. The children were able to able to work more with numbers to strengthen their knowledge of greater than, less than, and equal to. The children were supported in this by using counters to show which number was bigger and by finding the numbers on a number line to identify which number was larger.<\/p>\n

Please continue to practice counting by 1\u2019s, 5\u2019s, and 10\u2019s to 100 with your child at home. Also practice counting to 30 by 2\u2019s (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20\u2026..).\u00a0 Other activities you can practice at home are using tally marks to count objects, identifying 2D\/3D shapes around the house of community, and really making sure your child has good one-to-one correspondence when counting (this means that they touch each object as they are counting and count all objects correctly).<\/p>\n

Housekeeping Items:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Children need a snack each day!<\/strong> Please do not send candy as a snack. The children need a healthy snack each day such as fruit, crackers, cheese, yogurt, granola bars, etc.\u00a0 As a reminder, no juice is allowed in class for snack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
