This week we will be practicing to activate background knowledge to help reading comprehension. Our new word wall words are when, were and old. Your children will be held accountable for being able to read these words. We are doing more addition in Math, again practicing the strategies doubles, near doubles (neighbors), making tens, counting on and big and bigger numbers. In Science we will be learning about "air" and in Social Studies we will be learning how to be a good citizen and to identify historical figures (Paul Revere, for example.)
We began a home reading/writing project last week. Each student will get a turn to take home the Skippyjon Jones stuffed animal, a Skippyjon Jones book and our notebook for a few days. Your child's job is to have someone read the book to him/her, write a story and put in the notebook and to have fun with Skippyjon! Please help your child as needed. It's already turned out to be a fun project. Every student is looking forward to their turn. Oh, and please take a picture or two of your child with Skippyjon if you can. If you aren't able to print them out, email them to me and I will print them. I'm excited about watching our notebook fill up.
I am also still collecting t-shirt money. Please send it in ASAP so we can get the shirts ordered.
If anyone is interested in serving on the PTA board this year, please let me know and I will pass your name along. We have several positions open.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Cooper
