I am going to apologize over and over and over again for not keeping you all up to date!!! Why is it that life gets so busy that I can't get anything finished?!? Well, I'm sorry that it's been so long!
Here's some news that you need to know this week:
We are not having reading groups on Tuesday and Thursday this week due to teacher meetings with our writing consultant and computer consultant. So if your child comes home with the same book as the night before, READ IT AGAIN!!! :-) Practice is always a good thing!
Class pictures will be on Thursday so make sure that your sweet little angel comes to school with his/her best smile! If you would like to order a picture, please check your child's folder. An order form was sent home today in the home folder.
On Friday, we will be attending an assembly to hear an author! She is selling her new book and you should have gotten an order form in your child's folder if you are interested.
The ABC's of reading that was cancelled at the beginning of January is THIS THURSDAY at 6:00. This is going to be very informative regarding small reading groups. If you've ever had any questions about reading groups, hopefully they will be answered at this meeting!
This is what we are learning this week:
Reading story: Where Are My Animal Friends
Comprehension skill: Sequencing
Phonics: -er & -est endings
Grammar: Contractions
Math: All about measurement! We are giving money a rest in math (but still reviewing when we have extra time) and moving on to topic 14. This week we will be comparing and ordering length, using different units to estimate and measure length, and discussing inches and centimeters. Don't give up on money though! Practice at home. Play "store" and have your child add items together to get the total amount. Have them count out a specific amount of money and then ask them if there might be a different way to show that same amount.
I hope that everyone has a WONDERFUL week! If you have any questions or need anything, please feel free to respond on this page or e-mail me!
Love,
Ms. Meadors
