Speak-Up: Thursday, December 21
Spelling: No test this week, the test will be Friday, January 5 *The spelling tests are starting to increase in difficulty. Here are a few suggestions for practice: -Write the words (vary it by letting your child use markers, a white board, tracing it in play dough with a popsicle stick, etc.) -Involve movement (show your child the word on a scratch piece of paper and they can do jumping jacks, etc. while they spell it back to you) -Talk about similarities between words (i.e. catch & match) -Any little tricks or chants that will stick with them -Give them lots of practice before you do a "quiz" A few very important things to work on in the coming weeks... -Home Address -Home Telephone/Cell Number -Tying Shoes Thanks so much for your support and enjoy the Holiday Season!

Hello! Here are a few updates...
*If possible, please give your child an extra pair of mittens & a hat they can keep in his/her locker for the season. *Last week during reading, we compared many versions of The Three Little Pigs and wrote our own version & did a puppet show. Our final activity was to build a house the Big Bad Wolf couldn't blow down. The kids were all given the same supplies, a few guidelines and had about an hour to make a house in their groups of three. See the photos tab for pictures. It's fun to see how different the final products are. *No Speak-up this Friday, December 8, 2017. *Early Dismissal, Friday, December 8, 2017. School dismisses at 12:10pm. *Math Practice: -Domino Top-It: Each person flips over one domino & the person with the highest or lowest (choose how you play) gets the domino. I am sending home some paper dominos later this week to play with, no need to return them. The purpose of this game is to help kids game number sense & practice for addition facts. -Continue practicing addition facts through 12 -Counting various combinations of pennies, nickels & dimes -Telling time to the hour & 1/2 hour (we say half past and will move onto 6:30 etc. later) |
