Dear Families,<\/p>\n
I hope this post finds you well and enjoying a much deserved rest! We\u2019re almost out of the hot weather thank goodness\u00a0\ud83d\ude42\u00a0We have been working so hard despite the heat and I am SO proud of our class!<\/p>\n
This week, we will finish taking our first NWEA asessments in LA and Math. I will be going over all your child\u2019s data with you at the first conference in November and give you a copy to take along with our first report card. Please see me if you have a specific \u00a0date and time to request, otherwise this week I\u2019ll be sending you home a scheduled conference time if you have not been able to sign up yet! Can\u2019t wait to show you how WELL your children have been doing already! Have I mentioned that I LOVE this class lately?<\/p>\n
Here is what you need to know for this week!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Writing Workshop:<\/strong>\u00a0We will continue building our routines and procedures and stamina writing as well as continue Unit 1 Writing though pictures! We are doing SO well developing rich illustrations, drawing shapes, labeling pictures and telling the stories orally.<\/p>\n Daily 5\/Reading:<\/strong>\u00a0 This week we will finish testing, continue to build stamina for \u201cread to self\u201d and work on procedures and expectations for reading. In addition, this wednesday bothe kdg classes will begin incorporating a literacy intervention program with Mrs. Pelaccio during Daily 5. \u00a0I am excited to dig in more to Daily 5 as we rock and roll our way to reading! Keep having fun working on Raz-kids every night for 10-20 minutes depending what grade you\u2019re in and your child\u2019s stamina at this point may be more like 5-10. That\u2019s ok just build on it throughout the year! Remember, if you record a book I can listen to it and play it for the CLASS in school! This is SO fun and the kiddos are SO proud to hear their voice through the speakers! \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Math<\/strong><\/em>: This week we will continue working on our number sense with numbers 0-5 kdg, 0-10 firsties, counting orally to 100 by 1s and 10s<\/p>\n Spelling<\/strong><\/em>: kinders will keep working on sight words in class and letter ID with the teacher in our individualized spelling program. If your child is still working on letters, then each Friday, they will be assessed on the remaining letters they are working on to see which new ones they have committed to memory! The more they know the better, but each child will progress at their individual speed\u00a0\ud83d\ude42op, stop, top, I, you)<\/p>\n *If your child likes to sing and dance, try practicing sight words on \u201cYoutube\u201d! You can google any sight word and look for sing along songs which are FABULOUS for committing sight words to memory! If this sounds like your child\u2019s style check out my recommended sight words pages or the spelling program page for online resources to help! Our class LOVES the letter songs by \u201cHeidi Songs\u201d from Vimeo that was rented for our classroom for the year. It\u2019s only $7 for the YEAR!!!<\/p>\n Science:<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>This week we will begin a unit on the 5 Senses and What is a scientist before we move into the push and pull unit.
