Welcome back! I'm sure that was really a "spring" break, but hopefully spring will appear soon. I'm getting pretty tired of snow!! I think the kids were excited to be back today, but I could tell they were tired by the end of the day! Here's what's happening in our classroom this week:
Literacy
Our focus letter is Ww with our alphafriend being Willy Worm.
Our word of the week is: this
Our word family is: -en
In writing we will be talking again about ideas to write about. We talked today about writing about things we really know a lot about. Tomorrow we will talk about places that we've been! We will also start talking about voice. In writing this means that the story should sound like the author. One way this can be done is through using different fonts. Bold, squiggly, or fun letters!
We will also be reading stories about spring (maybe this will help mother nature!) and doing a couple activities about spring and what it means.
Math
We have started a unit on subtraction. Today we acted out some problems to get the kids to understand that in subtraction we take away. The rest of the week we will work on doing subtraction by using manipulatives and looking for patterns in subtraction.
Reminders
HOMEWORK SHEETS ARE DUE WEDNESDAY!!!
Tomorrow (3/29) is an early out day. The kids will be dismissed at 2:18.
Book order
I will be sending home a book order tomorrow. It will be due on Friday, April 1st. You can go online to order or just return the order forms to me with money.
Attendance Assembly
Notes went home today with those students who had perfect attendance for third quarter. They will be recognized on Thursday at the assembly as will those who returned their homework sheets!
