Week 2

We had a very busy week last week!  The students are starting to learn the routines and are very busy having fun and learning.  Here is what we are learning this week:

Reading:  We are still working on building stamina for Read to Self.  We are up to 5 minutes!  The students are also very excited because they are going to get to pick their seats during Read to Self this week. I am also introduced our next Daily 5 Center "Read to Someone" this week.  Students will also start exploring the word work stations.   In addition to all this, students are learning how to use letter sounds to write, reviewing rhyming, and practicing writing their first and last name with upper and lower case letters.  Whew!

Math:  This will be our second week with shapes (a.k.a. polygons).  The students love using the big kid word when talking about shapes.  This week we will continue to focus on drawing and identifying different shapes.

Social Studies:  The Super Kiddos have been hard at work trying to think of a way we help our school.  We will continue to learn how to be good school citizens this week. Hopefully, by Friday, the students will have decided on a project they can do to help our school.

Notes:  Behavior Calendars start this Monday.  Students will receive a purple, green, yellow, or red dot on their calendar in their folder.  Please check your child's folder to see how their day was. Also, I am in need of paper towel tubes for Science.  Please send them in if you have them.
