Homework Binders

Next week, your child will begin to bring home their Reading Binder. These instructions only apply to children who do not go to a seperate reading group. As they will have their own Reading Binder and expectations may vary.

Reading binders will come home at the beginning of the day. Each night your child will need to practice their heart words, read the paper story/draw picture, and the read the book provided. Please complete this work with your child as they may need support. Each night your child reads, you will need to sign the calendar in the binder. Binders need to be returned on the last day of the week.

Classroom Reminders

Working Snack: Our mornings are very long, and we would like students to have a snack during this time. A working snack needs to be healthy and does not require a utensil or leave residue on your child's fingers. It should be quick and easy to eat while continuing to work—examples: Fruit, Vegetables, String Cheese, Crackers, etc. (AVOID nuts due to allergies)

Water Bottles- Send students daily with water bottles that do not leak. Also, sports drinks or colored drinks are not allowed in the classroom. Students can enjoy them at lunch.

Friday starts our new late start. Doors open at 9:05 and the Tardy Bell at 9:20. Dismissal is still 3:30. This will be the schedule every Friday.

Literacy- Writing, Reading, and UFLI

Next week we will be working on writing. During the week we will work on pulling apart the prompt, finding ideas, and then creating a plan with details, and lastly looking at different exemplars. We will shift back into our regular reading instruction the following week.

UFLI Focus: CVCe Sneaky E words

Math

Topic 2

We completed our topic 2 and are now moving into our topic 3 which is Adding Within 100 Using Strategies.

Topic 3 focuses on addition within 100 using strategies that employ a hundred charts, a number line, breaking numbers apart, and compensation. There is more than one way to solve an addition problem.

** Please continue to work with your child on their 0-20 addition and subtraction facts.

Quick Card & Dice Games

Addition War: Split a deck of cards (face cards removed, Aces = 1). Each player flips two cards, adds them up, and the higher sum takes all four cards.
Make 10 or Make 20: Deal 10 cards face up. Players take turns finding pairs or groups of cards that add up to exactly 10 (or 20).
Double Dice Roll: Roll two 10-sided dice (or standard 6-sided dice) and call out the sum as fast as possible. Add a timer to challenge them to beat their own high score!

Science

Life Science

We have started our first science unit. Students will be working on making observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats such as oceans, grasslands, forests, rainforest, tundras, and deserts. We will be working on this unit for a few weeks.
