Happy Wednesday!
This week..
Math: We are working on sorting and graphing bugs.
Reading: We are practicing the strategy of re-telling. You can reinforce this strategy at home by reading with your child and then asking them to "re-tell" what happened throughout the story. Prompting their brains with a "picture walk" (turning the pages and looking at the pictures to remind them of the story) is a good way to re-tell the story.
Writing: What is a Writers workshop? What does it look like, sound like, and feel like? This week we are setting up our writers workshop environment!
Parents,
Next Monday, October 13th, I would like to hold a short meeting at the end of the day to discuss the Chapman Auction. For the Auction, our class will be producing an art project to sell during the live auction! It's time to get the ball rolling to figure out a project for our class. I really need a parent(s) who would like to lead this project, along with volunteers to help produce it. I have a few ideas, but I would love to hear some other creative ideas from my parents. This idea needs to be turned into the Auction committee asap.
There is no school this Friday, October 10th.
On October 27th, we will be taking our field trip to the Pumpkin Patch. Please turn in your child's field trip permission form and money to me as soon as possible. There are scholarships available if you need one; just let me know.
If you have not yet signed up for a conference time please e-mail me! I will be sending out a reminder of your time and date as we approach the 29th and 30th.
SNACKS! Our snack supply is low. Our class needs some more healthy snacks. We have access to a refrigerator, so those kinds of snacks are fine. A few different suggestions are string cheese, fresh fruit such as apples/oranges, baby carrots, etc.
Remember to check the blog at least once a week!!
