Our final week before break and here we go….
READING-We spent some time today learning some FACTS about reindeer. When I first asked them what they already knew about reindeer, they said things like-“they are magical” “they can fly” “they have a red nose” etc. So we went on a fact-finding mission. After reading some information about reindeer, I typed up some facts and non-factual thoughts and had them place the information accordingly. That’s coming home tonight. (Ask your child about a reindeer’s nose.)
We also made a big chart about reindeer. Reindeer can have are
WRITING-Informational
WORDS-run find
LETTERS-We will be working with short vowels this week. Today’s vowels are a (as in apple) and i (as in igloo). Tomorrow we will make a chart using words with those letters in the words. We need to read carefully!!!
For example, fat fit tan tin
MATH-We will practice and review counting on up to 10.
For example, :
- Count out 10 spoons and put them all behind your back. 10
2. Reach back and pull out some of the spoons. 3
3. Have your child tell you how many are still behind your back. 7
4. Then have them tell you the number sentence that goes with the problem. 3+7=10
On Thursday, students from our STAND (Students Taking A New Direction) group will be selling personalized Santa hats for $2.00. If you would like your child to purchase one, please send in $2.00 on Thursday. They will probably want to wear their hat on Friday for our All-School Sing-a-Long.
I am glad to be back with “my kids.” I missed them so much.
Have a good rest of the week.
Mrs. Smith
