Week ending 10/24/14

We've had a great week!  We've worked on many new concepts, built on those we've already started, and practiced those we've learned before to be sure we've mastered them.

Important Information

• Conferences begin Monday, the 27th and end Friday, the 31st. for our class.
• Please be sure to bring your child with you.  They have work they are very excited to share with you! 
• Thursday, the 30th, is an early dismissal for conferences.  Please have your child picked up by 12:30.  
• Thank you to all who bought books this past time through Scholastic!  It was wonderful see all those bonus points!  I was able to use many of the bonus points and still have some left! I purchased some early Amelia Bedelia books, a Fly Guy book, and some early chapter books.    I'll send home information again for another order soon.

3, 2, 1 for this week…

3 skills we worked on this week were making text to world connections to help us understand how our story relates to the real world in reading workshop.  In writing workshop, we focused on making our sentences more powerful by adding in adjectives throughout.  In social studies, we learned where we live in the world from our galaxy all the way to our own house.

2 skills we practiced in math were regrouping tens and ones and we learned math games to further our understanding.  We also practiced counting coins to buy things.

1 thing you need to know is…we're making our stories better and better so we can have a more detailed story to share with you at conferences!    -Jordyn

Have a great weekend!
