Winter is here and so is the snow! Please pack an extra pair of gloves and socks in your child's backpack in case they get wet. Also, if you would like to keep an extra pair of pants and socks at school, please send them in a large ziploc bag with your child's name on it. We will keep them in our classroom in case your child gets wet at recess and needs to change. Thank you!
Important Notes
Please make sure you send back the book in a bag EVERY day so that your child can choose a new one at his/her level. This is an important part of our reading program!
Language Arts
- For the next three weeks, we will be learning about the ocean through several fiction and non-fiction books. We will be focusing on the comprehension skills setting, compare and contrast and main idea. When reading with your child at home, try asking them comprehension questions.
- In writing, we will continue with a new unit on informational writing. The students will be writing "how to" books. This means they will need to think about all the things they know how to do so that they can write a book to teach others. Please help them think about things they know how to do: build a snowman, tie shoes, make an ice cream cone, hit a homerun, brush teeth, etc. If you generate a list with your child, please send it in for your child to keep in his/her writing folder. The class is continuing to practice writing using the developmental conventions (spacing, punctuation, beginning a sentence with a capital, spelling sight words correctly) and stretching out words to hear all the sounds (beginning, middles, end).
