Week ending 10/2/15

Hello families!
We've had our first full week!  I can't believe it!  It's great to really be in a routine and go through the whole week as scheduled.  The weather has been crazy and keeping us on our toes.  I hope it clears out for the weekend for those wonderful Fall activities!

Important information:

  • Thursday is an early release day with dismissal at 12:30.  If there are any changes to the usual, please let me know.  
  • Thursday night is also Open House for us.  Ms. McManus sent out an email to families regarding times.  Please remember it is an adult only event.  Look forward to seeing you!  
  • As the weather keeps us on our toes, please try and have a sweatshirt in your child's locker in case they get cold or send them in with one in the am.  The room can be varying temps and the students go out for recess as well.  
  • Please remember we are trying to be a nut free classroom.  Any nut items can be eaten at lunch.  Thanks for helping with this.  
3, 2, 1 things we worked on this week…
3 reading strategies we worked on this week were sounding out words carefully and slowly, continuing to choose just right books, and making connections to the texts we read and hear to our own lives.  These are all strategies we'll practice all year long.  

2 science activities we worked on were observing the lima bean seed and talking about how seeds travel.  Ask you child to tell you two ways sends travel.  

1 thing Kaya wants you to know is that we played a few math games this week in class.  He really liked Top-It.  (We played Top-It which you can play with a deck of cards, Penny Plate which you can play with 10 pennies and a paper plate, and Grab Bag Addition which you can play with a bag and any 20 objects that you can take turns pulling out.  Ask your child how to play these games.)
