Another short and busy week!

If I forget to post- Every Wednesday is Library Day.  Please have your child put their Library Book in their backpack on Tuesday nights.   Please have your child do this him/herself.  By allowing the child to do this, you encourage responsibility and independence.

We are winding up a week of A  a  and  The  the.  Adding last week’s letter M  m, we now have am to add to our Word Wall.  Please encourage your child to read, spell, write, and find these words.

Both yesterday and today they wrote a book using I am the ________.  Please have them read their book to you.  When reading, watch for left to right progression and top to bottom.

Math-We are working with 6.  Reading, writing, counting, and creating 6 items. Check it out with them.  We also recognize many shapes in our everyday world.  Thanks for getting the “Plate of Shapes” returned so timely!  They are hanging in the hall.

Science-We have used our 5 senses to explore!  I hope to get outside tomorrow for some leaf exploration and observation.

Tomorrow my class will be taking the MAP test on the computers.  The test will be used to show us what they know and to chart their academic progress.  Lots of sleep and a good breakfast and lunch!

Tomorrow we have been asked to wear blue in response to taking a stand against bullying.  On Wednesday, October 22, 2014, at 6:00,  there will be a city kickoff event at the Ford Performing Arts Center.  All are invited to attend this free event.

Keep up the reading at home.  Remember to fill in the October Owl Calendar and the Reading Log.  We are working on our reading stamina.  We have discussed how by reading we get to be better readers!  we chart our reading stamina every day.  Today we had 2 opportunities to increase our stamina.

Thanks for your support at home.
