I can’t believe we are finally reaching the end of September. We have been learning so much in class and it’s so exciting to get to know the kids as we continue with our beginning of the year assessments. They are such a bright little learners and I can’t wait to get to know them more as the year continues.
There are a few notes below about activities going on in the school and in the district. Please check out the notes and links to help you plan ahead. Our classroom earned a special award from our school fundraiser and will be getting to have “Popsicles on the Playgrou” on Friday. This is a special treat from PTA for exceeding our goals for the fundraiser. The kids are so excited!
This week in class, we will continue learning about breaking words apart and we will start our first week of reading groups. We will be doing picture walks and target our word attack strategies for solving words we don’t know. Mink lessons will help target each groups specific needs. In a few weeks I will be sending home a small reader for them to be doing at night with you. This should be easy for them as we have walked through the book multiple times throughout the week. In math, we are working on ways to make numbers and all the combinations that make 20. I love hearing all their thinking during our math talks every day. In science, we’re continuing to work on classification and states of matter. We have been doing lots of hands-on activities to explore this concept more.
As always, I am available anytime you need me if you have any questions about the classroom or our curriculum. Feel free to email me at any time! I’m looking forward to another great week with your kiddos!
