Week of 9/2
Dear Parents,
It was wonderful to see you all at Back to School Night. I know that was a lot of information to take in in one night so don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions or need clarification. You have my contact info now.
Math: We will continue working in our Engage New York Program in Module One working on finding groups of 8 and 9 in a picture and counting on from 5. We will be working with number bonds and subitizing as well. You can continue to support this learning at home by reviewing the math worksheets your child brings home and encouraging your child to work on math on the Starfall program. Flashcards are another fun way to help your child add and subtract at home too!
Reading: We will enjoy two new stories from our Houghton Mifflin Reading Series that will focus on helping your child evaluate a story and think about cause and effect in a story.
Reading Workshop has started and we will continue working in Unit One learning about the many strategies readers use when they read. The students now have their own book bag filled with books at their level from our leveled library. They will shop each week for new books to read independently in an area of their choice.
Writing; Writing happens across the curriculum and will continue this week as the students write to the Mystery Person, and during our Language Wall Time. We are into our narrative unit of Writer's Workshop learning about how writers gather ideas by thinking about a strong emotion they have had to help them write a story. We will continue to gather ideas next week and then move into picking a seed!
Handwriting: We will finish learning how to write all the lowercase letters and start learning how to write the capital letters. Daily handwriting practice at home is important as your child is just learning how to write the letters the magic c way and the stick way.
Word Wall Words: favorite find who
