Happy Friday!
Fall Party - This year we are having our Fall Party A LOT earlier than we normally do. We are going to be having it on the half day in October on the 9th. That day will be here before we know it!!!
Math-Next week in math we will be continuing to focus on strategies that help the kids solve word problems along with addition fluency.
Please continue working on telling time to the nearest hour and half hour, and writing numbers in order by ones, fives, and tens. Another skill your child would greatly benefit from is counting coins. They need to be familiar with each coin's name and the value of the coins. Then they need to be able to count the coins together. Practicing this at home would be so valuable for your child.
Reading-Next week we will be starting small reading groups so we can go over the expectations in those groups and prepare for starting our guided reading groups.
The skills in reading that will be covered next week are focused around accuracy. Good readers use the pictures to help them when they get stuck on words, look at the beginning and ending sounds of unknown words, and flip sounds in words such as changing the long i to a short i sound to see if the words sounds right.
Writing- We are going to be using our read aloud book to discover what dialogue looks like, how our author added details to his writing, and how he used action in his writing. We are going to add these types of crafts to our writing. I cannot wait to see what the kids come up with!
Science- We only made it to writing our hypothesis and what materials we will use for our lab experiment. Once they grasp the concept of how to write a hypothesis and document their findings, the experiments will hopefully start moving along a little faster.
Word Work Words- The new words for next week are :
those, many, about, your, will
Upcoming Events:
Sept. 25- 2:30 is the first Tiger Pride Assembly- We'd love to see you here!
Sept. 28-Oct. 2 - Book Fair
Sept. 29 - Picture Retakes
Sept. 29 - Open House @6:00 p.m.
Oct. 9 - Fall Party
