Week 7 Update
It has been wonderful meeting with
parents over the past few weeks. Thank you for taking the time to come to
school to discuss your child’s progress with me. We have our last half-day for parents
conferences on Tuesday of this week. We
will be having our “Pumpkin Camp” this week – on Wednesday and Thursday. We will be having our Halloween celebration
on Thursday afternoon and parents are invited to join us from 2:30 – 3:15 for
treats and a few Halloween games. Please
let me know if you will be attending so I can reassure your child when they
ask.
In the computer lab this week, we
went online to Johnny’s Math Page (jmathpage.com) and played games on the ten
frame. These games are located in the number section of the website and would
be great to practice at home as well.
Our guided reading groups have been
meeting and we are really building our stamina during “read to self” and “read
to someone”. Ask your child to tell you
about the decoding strategies they are using.
In writing, we are working on “bringing our characters to life” by adding
details and maybe even some dialogue. We will continue working on this over the
next few weeks.
Our Word Wall words for the past two
weeks were: saw, him, her, when, why, had, not, note, those, these. I will try
to remember to post them weekly so you can help your child practice them at
home as well.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Family Game Night basket for the PTO Auction. I hope you will be able to attend on November 5th at 6pm. This is a great fundraiser for our amazing PTO!
