Shoes Required!!!
PLEASE make sure your child has a pair of shoes at school EVERYDAY! With our playground being muddier now, we cannot wear our boots into the classroom. The shoes don't need to be gym type shoes. Any shoes they can easily get on and off are fine . I will need to begin calling home for you to bring shoes in if your child does not have them. Thank you so much!
Assessments and Report Cards
I have been assessing your child last week and this week in order to be ready for report cards. It is encouraging to see how much progress they are making! Report cards will come home next week. Remember: A score of 1 or a 2 this time of year is okay. A 2 means your child is on track to meet the end of the year goal. A 1 means that this is an area that needs extra attention and we will be sure to focus on that for the remainder of the year. If you have any questions once you receive the report card, please email or call me.
March Reading Madness
Below is a link to the books that our school is reading and voting on for March Reading Madness. We are reading each book, rating the text and the pictures on a 5 point scale (5 is great and 1 is not so much), and drawing something to help us understand the story. Feel free to listen to these stories at home and ask your child which one is their favorite and why!
What's been going on in our Class?
In reading we working on making predictions as we read using clues that the author gives us and what we already know about the topic. In phonics we are really working on vowel sounds in the middle of words. We have focused on the short vowel sounds mostly but will be getting into the long vowel sounds also. In math we are working on adding and subtracting using drawings to show our work. We are also practicing adding and subtracting using a number line. In writing we are learning how to write a friendly letter with a heading (date), a greeting, the body of the letter, a closing, and a signature. We are also going to be writing our opinions using this letter format. In science we are starting to learn about plants and animals! We are always so busy and learning so much!
I hope you all have a terrific week!
