Week 19

I hope you and your child had a relaxing long weekend.  I sure enjoyed mine!  Now we are ready to get to get back to work!  A little bit about last week and this week…

Congratulations to Victor Buendia for passing off a level in Raz Kids last week!

Last week in language arts we practiced our new sight word - this.  At the same time we tied it into our 7 HABITS:  #4 Think Win-Win!  

We each drew a name out of a container of someone in our class.  

Then we wrote the sentence, “This is for you!”  we then drew a picture

of something we thought they would like.  We kept it a secret until we

were done then we gave it to them.  It was a win-win because everyone

got a special note and everyone got to practice learning a new word.

Our DIBELS testing will begin this week. It is very important that the children come rested and well fed each day so

they can be alert and ready to do their best work.  If you would like to know the

areas in which they will be assessed please refer to last week’s blog post.

We are still working on our math unit that is all about Comparing Sets.  

We have compared everything from sets of children to fish crackers.  

We rolled a die and created a set.  Then we made another set that had 1

more or 1 less in it.  Try doing this at home with the dice I gave your child

at Christmas.  Get creative with the manipulative and have fun!

2nd TERM REPORT CARDS will come home on Wednesday  

Please take time to celebrate all that your child has learned.
