Good Readers...
- Know the characters in the story.
- Know what the characters are doing and how they are feeling.
- Take guesses about what might happen next.
- Look for sight words in their reading.
Good Writers...
- Illustrate and label lists of items.
- Use an imaginary rubber band to stretch out the letter sounds in words.
- Use tools (like their alphabet chart) to help them stretch out letter sounds.
- Practice number formations - a sheet explaining number formations was sent home today.
- Make combinations and count to 10.
- Play math games like "pop" and practice using the math rack.
Word Study: Students worked on rhyming sort and/or letter sound sorts. Other center activities were games, puzzles, rainbow writing sight words, shared reading, and cut/paste.
Sight Words: Students are enjoying their sight word rings at school. Please try to practice sight words at home with your child. An updated list will go home at the beginning of next week.
Science/Social Studies - We reviewed previous 2nd Steps lessons. We will begin a new lesson next week. We started learning about and talking about our 5 senses!
REMINDERS:
If you haven’t already done so, please make sure that your student has a change of clothes (weather appropriate). If you could put them in a Ziploc bag with their name on it, that would be helpful in staying organized!
The Halloween Share is scheduled for Wednesday, October 31st at 2:15 in the common room. Don't forget your camera!
Picture Retake
Day is Thursday, November 15. Please let me know if you
would like your child to have his/her picture retaken. Students having their picture retaken need to bring back their portrait package, minus the
class picture, and give it to the photographer on retake day. It is
important that the student brings his/her package to the photographer because
there is a barcode on the envelope that needs to be scanned.
