Dear families,

Here are the students of the month from Room 114!  Congratulations to Zach Schook and Alaina Anani.  These two students were caught being kind to others when they had no idea Ms. Wright was looking!!  Keep it up!!

There are the students who read each night during the month of November.  Please keep up this daily habit at home. This month we increased the minutes from 10 minutes to 15 minutes.  Good Luck!

Here is what you need to know for this week:

Letter of the Week:  Cc

Words of the Week:   my   a

Monday:  Wear gym shoes.  Return library books.  Letter books will be sent home.  We will go to gym and art today.

Tuesday:  We will go to music and the media center to check out library books.

Wednesday:  We will go to the Santa Shop today.  A Santa Shop informational letter and envelopes were sent home on Friday. We will have a guest teacher, Mrs. Smith, in the morning since I will be at a science leader training.

Thursday:  We will go to music.

RAZ- KIDS:  Tomorrow in your child’s red folder you will receive directions for your child’s RAZ-Kids account. RAZ- Kids is an on-line reading program.  It has hundreds of leveled books for your child to choose from.  It is a great way for your child to practice reading and listening to stories on the computer.  Although reading real books is still my favorite way to go, students need practice navigating on the computer especially with all the high-stakes testing they will face.   My own sons and former students love using RAZ-Kids.  The students will take a  quiz after completing a book to check for understanding.  Note:  the quizzes start at Level A.  I will model how to use RAZ-Kids in class so they students will be experts by the time they come home.  Your child’s RAZ-Kids account was paid by the PTA basket money!  Thanks again for donating towards our Mad Science basket!)

 

Here are just some things we will be working in class over the next few weeks:

Reading:  We are working on retelling stories as well as practicing sounds.

Math:  We are practicing answering “how many?”

Social Studies:  We are continuing our  study of needs and wants/ goods and services.

Science:  We are studying pushes and pulls.

Writing:  We will continue opinion writing.

Leader in Me:  We will live habits 1-7.

Have a great week!

Ms. Wright
