This week we will....
Resume reading groups!!!! The class is excited about this and so am I. The groups have been changed yet again to reflect each child's current reading level. We will continue to read in small group and do reading as a whole group. Miss Davis has taken over teaching whole group reading with my help. This week they will focus on story structure and long o/u, and ending sounds.
One the things I noticed during reading testing the last few weeks is that the class as a whole is struggling with making connections while reading. So, I decided to have our writing focus be linked with making connections in literature. We will do a mini-lesson on how to make connections to the world, to other books, and to ourselves while reading. We will also be writing about the connections we make during reading. Hopefully, that will help us become making connections experts!
In math this week, we will work on story problems, addition and subtraction. We will also work on plus zero and plus one. The class should be pretty good with doing these basic facts since flash cards have already been sent home for those. We will take a timed test at the end of the week.
In Science, we will talk about what a scientist looks like and begin to teach the scientific method. We will do lots of fun experiments to practice this process.
Things to Remember:
Report Cards will be coming home on Thursday: inside the report will be a list of sight words that your child missed on the last spelling test. Please practice these as they will have a retest next week!
Feb. 3- Tuesday is conference night. If you would like a conference please email me.
Feb. 6- Half day for elementary
Please continue to send in empty cereal boxes for Valentine's day fun.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Beltz
