Weekly Preview

OK....I am in total denial about the yucky precipitation already falling from the sky!  So, I will write this up pretending that we will be in school for the entire 5 days!

This week we will be reading lots and practicing our problem solving skills.  We will also begin the week with new word study sorts.  We will work on the vowel sounds of ow and oa.  Your child may not be working on this level however I am a firm believer in introducing all my students to this concept and then focusing more in it in reading groups if appropriate.

We will finish learning about fact families.  The class really took to this math concept and they ALL have a pretty firm understanding at this time.  We will then work on subtracting.  We will also continue with fast fact tests.  

We will begin our unit on Living and Nonliving things as well as different characteristics of animals.  This entire unit will last about 4 weeks.  

If anyone can send in gummy worms ASAP, that would be great.  We will be using them as a comparison to REAL worms.  Check back later this week for pictures on that!

Also, please send in a rock that fits in your child's palm.  They will need this for Friday or early next week, weather depending. 

 Happy St. Patrick’s Day!


Weather depending we will be making Leprechaun Traps tomorrow!
