Week three
- 1. Peek at the Week: o In Reading, we worked on the short vowel /e/. o We reviewed “naming words” (nouns) and introduced the students to “action words” (verbs). o The new high frequency words were “she, had”. Students also practiced summarizinga story using a picture and words. o In math, students discussed skip counting, counting mixed coins and dividing groups into halves. We also skip counted using calculators. o Student writing is now emphasizing writing more than one sentence and using describing words. This week we worked on writing an opinion piece with two supporting sentences. o During Science, we continued talking about weather and clouds. Coming Up: o Next week in Reading, we will be introduced to the initial and ending /Bb/. o Our High Frequency words for next week will be “she, you” and we will practice identifying “action words” and practice summarizing stories. o In math, we will be working on place value and examining quarters. o Student writing should have one or two sentences and sounds represented. We will be watching for spaces and ending marks. o Students will continue weather discussion by examining seasonal changes. o We will also discuss healthy eating. March 24, 2017 Reminders o The weather should be warming up and we will go outside often. Please have your child wear safe sneaker type shoes for playground running and a jacket/sweatshirt. o Please make sure you send in spoons with your snack if they are needed. o Please continue to review all of the HF words. Students are forgetting their older ones as we assess for the report card. o Remind your child of one important class rule, no touching/hugging. We emphasize how germs can spread this way and it is also invading a personal space. Holiday Please read the enclosed note concerning our Easter Egg hunt here at school! Hopefully the weather will be warm! Third Quarter The end of the marking period is March 29th . Please review counting and words with your child if needed.
