Happy Monday!
Hello and welcome to the first blog post! This will be used as a communication tool to keep you updated on what we are doing in the classroom and upcoming events/reminders. Let me know at anytime if you have any questions or concerns!
Here a few reminders: Please be sure to have the decorated blue folder returned because we are starting our writing unit. Also all paperwork that was sent home at open house or the first day of school needs to be returned.
PLANNERS!
Planners are coming home today for the first time! Each day will write news, reminders, or homework in them. I will check them each morning. Please sign each night so that I know that you saw it. This is also a great place to write short notes to me, such as pick up changes, doctor appointments, etc.
Upcoming Events:
9/14: Dot Day: Wear Dots
9/17-9/20: Safety Week
9/21: No School
9/25: Family Night
9/26: Picture Day
Reading:
Last week we worked on setting up reading routines and expectations. It was exciting to see how many students are excited for this part of our school day! This week we will focus on becoming stronger readers by reading more and more, we will set goals for ourselves, and we will work on fluency. We will be scooping up words and reading with our eyes. On Tuesday, we will be sending home book bags. Please find time each night for your child to read their just right books. If you notice that books are too difficult or they do not seem like a good fit please let me know.
Writing:
This week in writing we are starting our first unit: Small Moments Stories. Students are writing stories about themselves that they want to share! We will learn how to plan out a story using stick puppets and touch and tell, sketch, then write. Thank you for all the work you did with the blue folders! It is a great tool for the students to use to think of ideas.
Math:
This week in math we are starting our first unit. In Unit 1 we will learn about breaking numbers apart and putting them together. Each day we will focus on a new number (1-10) and see how that number works!
Social Studies:
Last week and continuing on this week we are talking about our hopes and dreams. We have been busy building a community together and being apart of community is helping each other reach their goals! This week we will create rules to help everyone reach their hopes and dreams.
As always if you have any questions please let me know!
