Weekly Preview

This week we are going to continue to do reading groups and whole group reading.  I am so impressed with the progress that they are all making in reading!  Please continue to read, read, read!  We will talk about story sequencing in reading along learning to read/write words that begin with triple clusters.  Ex.  scr, sch, spr.  We will do a spelling assessment on Wednesday.  This will give me the opportunity to see how every child is doing independently and to adjust word study for their level.  We will continue to write about How to.....  This week our focus will be how to wrap a present.  A skill everyone should know the basics for.  

In math this week, we will continue with solving basic facts, addition and subtraction.  We will also begin to solve story problems.  This is not a new task for the class, just a review.  

This week we will not have an SOL for science or Social Studies.  We will finish maps on Monday with a simple assessment.  I hope you had the chance to look at your child's map that we create in class.  They LOVED map making!  We will go back to this skill later in the year.  

We will be busy working on lots of other things this week as well.  We will make Gingerbread houses on Wednesday, always a class favorite and we will celebrate Winter break with a sweet treat on Friday.

Have a great week!
Mrs. Beltz
