Dear Parents,
Friday, January 13th is the end of the marking period. However report cards will be distributed on Friday, January 27th.
Reminder: No school on Monday, January 16th due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Reading: Students have been practicing their reading skills: envisioning, predicting and making connections.
We are in the middle of reading assessments, as I mentioned last week. Next week we will have a substitute teacher coming in to help out for a few periods as the 1st and 2nd grade teachers continue the assessments.
We are reading Mr. Popper’s Penguins as our class read aloud.
Writing: Students completed a sentence dictation writing assessment this week. They did a very good job of identifying sounds and writing the corresponding letters to form sentences.
Our students seem to love handwriting work. If you would like to suggest your student practice handwriting at home, please go for it!
Spelling: Patterns –ug, -un, and –ut sounds and word identification
Math: Students completed a mid-year assessment this week and everyone did very well.
We are learning about telling time to the quarter hour.
Science: We have been learning about penguins, the south pole and related topics.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Craft
Sounds like fun! Thanks for the updates, Sarah! It's great to hear what you're all up to.
