Week of September 17-21, 2018

Our Reading story for the week is called “Plaidypus Lost.”  This  fictional story that discusses how families cooperate. We will learn about sequencing to help build comprehension. This skill helps us determine the order in which things happen in a story. Our “Amazing Words” for the week are: platypus, around, lost, found, market, and groceries. The new sight words taught will be the and little. Letter  recognition will include: Oo, Pp, Qq, Rr, and Ss. Phonics will focus on initial sounds and sound discrimination.

Numbers 0-10 will continue to be our focus in Math. The students are reading, writing, and counting the numbers using various manipulatives. We are becoming very familiar with dominoes, ten frames, number lines, linking cubes, and counters.

Reminders:

-Please remember to check folders daily. The “return” items should be sent back promptly. The “Keep” items should be removed from the folder immediately. (Extra papers that are left cause confusion when trying to organize ourselves). Review the schoolwork with your child to reinforce the concepts.

-Please practice sight words daily. Repetition leads to mastery!

-Continue to review your child’s 5 digit number. This is an important tracking number for school information.

-Friday, September 21^st will be a Spartan dress sown day. Students may donate $1.00 to participate.
