Week 24 Highlights
NOTES FOR PARENTS:
- Thank you so much to all of the parents and grandparents who volunteered in our classroom this week! Here is the sign up for next week.
- Please sign and return conference time slips to school so by Friday, February 28th so I know if you can make your assigned time or if I need to reschedule you.
CELEBRATIONS:
Quote of the Week – This week’s quote went to Aaron for always focusing on being the best HE can be.
Lost Tooth Club – Olivia and Colton both got an award for joining the lost tooth club!
Birthdays – Last week we celebrated Allison and Kashen’s half birthdays!
Mystery Reader – This week Jacob’s grandma surprised us as a mystery reader. She read Bears Don’t Read! We loved hearing the story.
OUR LEARNING:
Reading – Students learned new comprehension strategies! They learned to monitor their comprehension by asking, “Am I getting it?” and to make a movie in their mind, especially when reading books with fewer pictures.
Writing – Students began writing persuasive letters. This week we wrote a persuasive letter to Mrs. Nienhuis and Mrs. VanKoevering to ask if they could teach us some new recess games and rules!
Math – Students began solving story problems with 3 addends. They can do this by using “mental math” or by adding 2 addends together to make a group of ten and then adding the last addend.
Word Study – Students learned that the vowel teams ai and ay both say the long a sound. We also received a post card from our class mascot, Rasheed!
