Our week, Sept. 13th-17th
Good evening all!
This week in reading we will be working on the short o. The kiddos did a great job this past week in their phonics work books remembering the routines and rules for finding and identifying short vowels. We'll continue using the rules to identify short o this week. Our Engaging Reader this week is "Mean Jean Recess Queen." We will use this book to talk about making predictions while we read, how to retell a story, discuss how the character changes, make inferences and write our own opinions. This week's poetry song is called, "Goodbye Summer." In math we will be working on subtraction strategies all week.
We get to go to the school garden on Monday afternoon! We will get one lesson a month with our garden leader, Mrs. Alonso. Yes, she took on the garden this year, along with the library! Not sure what our lesson is about, but it's sure to be fun to be out in the fresh air learning!
Remember to work on your reading log during the week so you can turn them in on Fridays. I have a new one ready to go in their homework folders for Monday.
Library books are due by Wednesday!
I know parent conferences are just around the corner, so I'm working on figuring out my own kiddos schedules with cross country meets and soccer for that week and will send out a sign up genius soon for Zoom parent conferences. Thanks for understanding!
I keep forgetting to take pictures of the art we have been doing and send it your way! So here you go! A collage of our Chicka, Chicka Boom Boom trees, our watercolor self portraits, Eric Carle chameleons, and dot pictures inspired by our book study last week, "The Dot."
Have a great Sunday!
