Week of January 11-15, 2016

Please return your report card envelope.  Sign the envelope and keep the report that is inside.  It is important for you to practice the sight words that your child did not know.  If you need help, please ask your teacher! 

Each day please send a water bottle and snack.  All jackets should be labeled with your child's name.  Thank you!

Theme: Winter, Snow, and cold weather

Reading:  This week we will continue to enjoy stories about winter and cold weather. We continue to practice re-telling the stories we read because our reading assessment scores require that a student not only reads but can accurately retell/recall what he has read.

Writing:  The children continue to make books and develop their writing as they learn to make letter/sound connections and develop their own ideas or writing. This week we are focusing on using illustrations to help tell the story. Specifically, we are focusing on illustrations in non-fiction text.

Word Wall Words:  REVIEW: I, the, see, like, my, is, and, was, me, go, said, that, for, in, it, if, you, can, to, on, into, all color words

NEW WORDS:  he, she

Word Study:  OG Word Family  

Math: During math workshop, we will continue to emphasize numeracy and problem solving to 20. We will begin to explore number sentences with real problems we can act out in class.  This week we will decompose the number 4.  4 can be 2 and 2, 3 and 1, 1 and 3, 4 and 0, and 0 and 4.

Science: We will explore weather!

Social Studies:  Martin Luther King and new school routines
