We had a great day today! Our main focus today was reading and math! We read a non-fiction photo essay called "Night Animals" learning what nocturnal animals are, how they are awake when we are asleep, also that a mammal is warm blooded animal that has hair or fur. Our sight word of the week is "The" and our letter of the week is Aa, so please practice spelling and writing these at home as much as you can would be great. In math, we worked on the "hidden numbers" or two numbers that make up the whole. Essentially working on breaking apart the number 5 into as many ways as we could using number cubes ( 4 + 1 = 5, 3 + 2 = 5, etc). In reading groups, we worked on learning to blend our two sounds we have learned and how to blend them with other sounds we know /a/ /m/ = am. Then we read a decodable book and I have to say I am very impressed with how students are working hard at sounding each letter and learning to string them together! Wowza!
Notes:
- Turn in Take Home Books in envelopes and the Homework page in the Homework Folder on Thursday! If your child needs a new book, please do not forget that note. :)
- October 10th- No School
- Monday- New Homework will come home!
If you ordered a Scholastic Book Order it should be here within the next week, it usually takes 1-2 weeks to get here. I will send them home in your child's backpack and I will also post on here when they come home! :)
Happy Trails,
~Love,
Mrs. Wittwer
