March 5th-9th

Good afternoon parents! I hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather. I did. I spent time outside with my dog and quality time with my daughter who is home for spring break.

This week we will be having our parent teacher conferences. I am excited to sit down with each of you and talk about your child. If you haven't signed into signup genius you still can.

Report cards went home on Friday in your child's back pack.

Reading: We are in unit 7 week 3 of Wonders. Our essential question for the week is: Where do animals live? They will be bringing home books to read for their guided reading groups. Please be sure to let them read to you each night for at least five minutes. They use different strategies to help them with unfamiliar words.  Some of my reading groups are learning to be fluent readers and my other groups are working to be fluent with the sounds in a spoken word. While reading, have sound out the word hearing each sound in that unfamiliar word.

Math: We are working on unit 4 lesson 2 and 3 again this week.  We are working on mastering story problems using addition and subtraction. We are also learning to make partners of 10 using different strategies to help us understand this concept.

In writing we are still working on what it means to be a writer.

Sight Words: The sight word this week is  Said. Keep practicing these sight words at home. They are: the, see, can, a, I, like, we, to, go, and, you, do, my, is, little, he, with, she with, was, for, and have. 

They can write the sight words on index cards to make flash cards. They can trace them in salt. Continue to help your child practice these sight words each night.
