A Peek at the Week:
I have included the Common Core standards along with what we are learning in each subject area.
Everyday Math Lessons – Comparing coins, graphing numbers, writing numbers, understanding numbers on a number line; what number comes before and after a given number and recognizing and counting numbers 1-20.
Writing –K.W.3 Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to narrate a single event or several loosely linked events. Students will be given the district writing assessment this week. They will write a personal narrative for the assessment. Students are working on details in their story and will learn about settings in their stories this week.
Social Studies – K – C5.0.1 Describe situations in which I can demonstrate self-discipline and individual responsibility. Unit 1 Who Am I – Students will collaborate and demonstrate concept of self-discipline and individual responsibility at home and at school.
Science – S.IP.00.11 Make purposeful observation of the natural world using the appropriate senses. Students have been working on the five senses. This week students will explore the senses; hearing and touching.
Language Arts – We have started Daily Five in class and are working on Reading to Self, Working on Writing and Working on Word. Daily Five is a literacy program where your child is engaged for a block of time working on writing, reading, and spelling. We have learned Daily Five CAFE strategies; where to begin reading on a page, reading from left to right, learning to listen with understanding when read a story aloud and recognizing the cover and back cover of a book, recognizing the author and illustrator of a book.
I will not be in class Wednesday, September 24, and Thursday, September 25 I will be attending a 2 day conference. There will be a substitute in my place, Miss. Leslie.
See you on Monday. Have a wonderful weekend!
