Dear Parents,
Winter is here and we want to be sure the students are prepared. Students are not allowed to play out in the yard if they do not have snow pants, boots, jacket, hat and gloves. Please make sure you are sending your child to school prepared. If there is an item you do not have at home, let us know and we will find a replacement. Thank you for your help with this!
Reminder: Noon dismissal on January 13th.
Reading: Students are practicing reading skills such as envisioning (imagining the story in our minds as we read) and predicting (on the word, sentence and plot levels). We are administering formal reading assessments this month, which will help to inform our reading instruction and students’ learning.
We are reading Magic Treehouse #8, Midnight on the Moon for our class read-aloud, and talking about the solar system.
Writing: We have been focusing on handwriting work this week while we get back into the swing of things after the break. Students have also been writing about their vacations, and practicing their editing skills to improve their writing.
Spelling: Patterns –ed, -en, and
-et sounds and word identification
Math: Review of time and temperature, introduction to measurement: the inch
Math you can practice at home: Telling time to the half-hour, counting coins
Science: Continuation of where food comes from/growing our food
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Craft
