Conferences

Conference week is coming up during the week of October 16-20th. I am excited to be able to sit down with you to discuss your child's progress over the past 9 weeks. :) We will be having a 1 hour early release the entire week! If you have not done so already, please sign up for a time that works best for you by following the link below. Be on the lookout for a letter confirming the time you chose. If something changes, just let me know and we can work it out!

Reading and Sight Words

Please make sure you are reading with your child nightly and practicing sight words. I have seen so many sight word check off sheets the past few weeks and it makes me SUCH a happy teacher!! :) The more sight words the kiddos know, the more fluent their reading will be. 

Please make sure you are reading with your child nightly, and returning the envelopes on your assigned day :) 

Scholastic Book Orders
I send one book order home per month from Scholastic. This is a great resource that will help us both out! You and your student get new books on their level to practice reading and I receive points from those orders to put towards new books for our classroom. The more book orders the better! 

 

This past week we reviewed and assessed many of the concepts we have been talking about for the past few weeks. I want to make sure the kiddos are confident in their ability to understand the concepts and master the standards. 

Reading

The concepts we reviewed were how to retell a story and how to describe the characters and setting with details. 

Writing

We wrapped up our Narrative writing unit by writing about a time they did met a new friend. Students had to tell me who their friend was, what they did and how they felt being with this friend. They turned out great and I can't wait for you to see them.

Language Arts

This week we reviewed nouns, adjectives and multiple meaning words.Multiple meaning words are words like fly. *A fly is in my food. *A plane can fly.

Math

We have covered a lot of concepts in math this first quarter. These concepts include the meaning of the equal sign, determining if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false, number order, counting and making sets, adding and subtracting by counting and using different strategies, and graphing data using tally marks. 

Science and Social Studies

We reviewed weather and where we live on the map.
