This past week was just like our other weeks..busy, busy, busy! We are learning so much!
ELA: We are continuing our study of the alphabet and starting our study on ways to be healthy! If you have a chance talk with your student about what they can do to keep healthy! We have also learned our sounds for a lot of letters including a, l, n, s, p, t, i, o and we started with blends today (sl, sn, sp, etc.). I will be introducing our first spelling list this week (most likely tomorrow).
Writing: We have continued our study on how to write a story. We have learned how to plan a story (pick a topic, touch & tell, sketch, write and revise), we have learned ways to spell out our words and today we learned how to pick a topic that wasn't too big (watermelon), but in stead pick a small moment (seed) to write about. The kiddos are doing such a great job with their writing..I am super impressed.
Math: We have finished our first unit in math and took our final unit test last week too. We learned about partner pairs that make new numbers. This unit we are learning about ways to add and subtract.
Thank you so much for all of your encouragement and support this first month of school! Speaking of that...I cannot believe we are already 1 month in to school! Wow, time is flying by.
A couple of housekeeping reminders:
*Please remember conferences start next Monday. If you are unsure of your time, please let me know. I did send home reminders last week and will be sending home reminders for students who are scheduled for October 10 on Friday.
*I have not received all of our impact aid forms! If you have a bright green slip at home, please send it in with your students ASAP!
