Week of January 19-23, 2016

Due to the holiday, we will be going to the library on Wednesday this week.  If you haven’t returned your books, send them by tomorrow!

The 100th day of school will be on Feb. 2nd.  Attached is a separate letter in regards to this special day!  Stay tuned for details on our 100 day parade which will take place on that same day, as well. 

Our new school building dedication also will be Feb. 2 at 4 pm.  All are welcome!  An invitation via email is forthcoming today.

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, he, she,
NEW WORDS:  has, but
Word Study:  OP 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 numbers 5 and 6.  

Science: We will explore the seasons!
Social Studies:  What jobs can we do to help others?
Homework: Read 20 minutes every night.
Optional Activities:

  • Monday: Write six “OP” words.  
  • Tuesday: Try to count to 100 to mom or dad.  Can you count by 10’s?  How about by 5’s?
  • Wednesday:  Write the word has.  Trace over it 4 times using a different color each time.  Now do the same with the word but.
  • Thursday:  Visit www.raz-kids.com
  • Friday:  Pack up your library books and/or home readers to return to school!
