Last week seemed to fly by, especially with our 100’s day
party, our dentist visit and all the other fun things. Pictures from out week
are below=)
Notes
· I sent
home the permission slip for our OMSI Visit (March 18th), so make
sure to look in their folders.
· Registration
for next year has begun. We are also doing Kindergarten assessments for next
year on March 30th and 31st if there are any families
interested that you may know.
· Next week
we are having a Seusstastic week to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday! On Tuesday we are reading Fox in
Socks so have your child wear the silliest socks they have!
· Please forgive
me for the large amount of paper sent home this week! We have a new mailbox
system for take home papers. Also students are helping pass out papers, so if
you accidently get another child’s work just send it back and I will make sure
it get to the right place=)
Reading:
Last week we worked really hard on our sight words (which by
the way the students did amazing on their tests!), and reading nonsense words.
Nonsense words are helpful because students learn how to sound out and blend
words, and they are not able to guess them, so it fine tunes the blending
skills. It also helps as they begin to read longer words which need to be
broken up to read.
Next week we are reading a lot of Dr. Seuss books and working
on our Rhyming skills. Students are encouraged to bring in any Dr. Seuss books
they have and if they would like they can read their book to the class!
Math
On Tuesday we will be taking our subtractions test, and then
be moving in to breaking numbers 11-20 up into tens and ones. For example 19
has 1 ten and 9 ones. Students are also continuing to take their addition and
subtraction times tests to help with fluency.
Writing
In writing we are continuing to work on our How-To books. We
are really focusing on breaking things into small steps, while also practicing
those basic skills like spacing, capital letters, and sounding out small and
long words.
Bible
Next week is our Missions week. We will get to talk about what
a missionary is, why they are important, and what they do. We are lucky to have
our own missionary at school, Mrs. Strickalnd. So she will be talking to the
class about her experiences.
Our hundreds day party! The student's projects turned out great!
The first and second graders even came and helped us=)
Our "Teeth Experiment" to find out what soda, coffee, and acidic food do to our teeth!
