I will be assessing
the students soon in both Math and Literacy. We lost an instructional day today
and so I thought I would offer some extra ways to practice at home. Abcya.com is a great website! I’d recommend
playing the Sight Word Bingo game and the Numerical Order game. We
haven’t used it too much in class yet so it would be a fun site to explore
today. We have used Starfall.com a great deal in class. There are some
great reading activities on there as well. Thanks for working with your child
at home! The kids have made some amazing growth! It really shows when you work
extra with your child at home! Thank you! Have a great weekend!
I have decided to add “The Sneeze” video to our blog(see video below). The
kids loved it and have been asking me to post it. I used it to teach a lesson
about germs and preventing the spread of germs.
This week, we are learning
about nouns. The kids are already getting very good at telling the difference between
a noun and a verb. Describing words are coming next. I’m trying to have them
use more descriptive words in their writing. I have also been issuing a Two Sentence Challenge during writing!
It’s amazing what a little encouragement will do! Some children have written 5
sentences! Keep writing at home.
Venn
diagrams are our focus in Math this week. I included one In the Homework packet
this week. We are also reviewing tens
frames, graphing and story problems. I have a ton of 100’s day and Valentine’s Day
pictures to upload. I promise to post them soon! Don't forget homework packets are due
Monday. Thanks for continuing to read with your child at home. E-mail me anytime!
