Celebrating Diversity!

We made it through PALS testing!  We have loose ends to tie up this week but for the most part we are finished.  That means we can finally begin reading groups!  That is very exciting for me and I know the class enjoys them too!

This week we will begin our Houghton Mifflin Reading Series.  This will focus on reading with the entire class and teach us different skills each week.  We will focus on short a words this week as well as story sequencing.  We will do one more week of word study review.  Next week, we will start word study groups.  These groups will help us differentiate with the entire first grade.  This means that your child may go to a different classroom/teacher for this part of instruction.  I will give you more information on this @ Back to School Night.

We will continue to build our solid foundation of number sense.  We will be counting and playing games while learning in math this week.

Our focus in Social Studies is diversity.  We are learning about how we are different and families are different in our very own communities.

Please continue to review sight words each week and read, read, read.

Things to remember:
It gets chilly in our room so please send your child to school with a sweatshirts or light coat.
Snack daily
Homework daily as well as signing your child's behavior chart.
