It is comprised of mini lessons, independent and team stations, games and individual groups. Last week we did a beautiful job with the mini lessons, a few games and introducing the math journal as the final review component. \u00a0This week my goal is to introduce the \u201cindependent\u201d work stations where they play games with partners in small groups after each mini lesson. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n

This week I will begin small \u201cmini lessons\u201d in between each round of independent reading to self. The mini lessons will be composed of rhyming, separating sentences into words, identifying initial sounds, and our trade book for the weed \u201cHuggapotamus\u201d which has a theme about \u201cfriendship\u201d which ties in so nicely with our social studies unit!\n

- Reading Packs<\/em><\/strong>: As the teachers continues to assess and organize students skills, I will begin sending home reading packs with letters, or sight words to begin learning! The reading packs will all have different tools in them specifically for your child. If you child is \u201creading\u201d ready they will have their first green card with the first 40 Dolch high frequency sight words, and will begin getting paper emergent readers and eventually small books. If your child is working on letter and sound recognition in the alphabet as well as their own name, they will receive a card with the letters they need to work on, and well as a name game to help them learn and write their first names and paper emergent readers at level A. All students can and should begin using Raz-kids nightly. \u00a0Please make sure your child\u2019s reading pack goes home and BACK each day with their red folder! Thank you in advance for ALL you are asked to do this year!<\/li>\n
- Homework<\/strong><\/em>: This week I will be sending you home a fun math game to play with your child each night! It is very easy and fun and will come with instructions. In addition, I will send you home a list of \u201cnumber sense\u201d and counting and cardinality ideas to play with them that we do each day in school. No pressure, just some fun and easy ways to help your child build number sense and foundation skills with numbers 0-10.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Have a wonderful week and if there is anything I am missing I will be sure to write again asap!<\/p>\n
