Week ending 3/24/17

Hi families! Spring has sprung even though we don't feel it yet!  We are all very excited regarding the Chinese Cultural Field Trip on Monday!

Important Information:
  • Please send your child to school with a paper bag lunch and be sure to write your child's name on the bag. 
  • Students will be making dumplings, and are offered them at lunch, so if there is an allergy concern, please let me know.  
  • Should there be any concerns regarding weather, please plan as though we are still going and send a bag lunch.
  • Also, if you have any paper towels or tissues you'd like to donate to the classroom, that would be great!
3, 2, 1 things you should know about our week...
3 activities we worked on to practice inferencing were: "What's in my teacher's bag?" to make inferences about what our Mrs. K.  likes and participates in, listening to the read aloud No! David to infer qualities of David, and read together and discussed the poem "Things" to infer what the girl was doing.  
*Show your child an item that is important to you and ask them what they can infer about you.  (Ex. Showing a Starbucks gift card and your child may infer you not only like to drink coffee, but like to drink coffee at Starbucks. 

2 math skills we've been working on are doubling and dividing  numbers and understanding the relationship between that.  We used the activity called Wubbles to do this.  We also worked in teams to show see who would win a "basket ball game" with dice and addition.  

1 social/emotional piece we're working on with all of our students is getting refocused back on our rules, our understanding of glitch and disaster, thinking of other's tone of voice before responding upset, and thinking about problems in our class and how we can work together to fix them.  I have noticed more students given each other a kid positive postcard and for both the giver and receiver, they both are rewarded in their heart.
