Here
and there:
·
All of our room 19 families are signed up for conferences, thank
you all for organizing with other time slots with multiple siblings as well as
using sign up genius! I love that you are all using technology to best
communicate as we work together to educate your child. Conferences are just around the corner, I am
very excited to see you all!
·
Next week we will introduce and work on the final 10 phonograms.
At the end of next week all 70 will have been introduced and practiced. We will
start to recognize all of our phonograms in words we read and write. The students
who are showing great effort reading and verbalizing the phonograms daily with
the class are the ones who are getting the most out of our Spalding time.
·
Thank you all for the support at home with signing off and
assisting with homework. I do ask that you carefully read before you sign. I am
seeing parents sign off without checking to make sure it is all done completely
and accurately.
·
For the month of September we will be focusing on EFFORT. I am
able to observe effort as students show neat and accurate handwriting, make
thoughtful connections, and acts in ways that are helpful to our room 19
culture. When we put all of our energy
into our obligations our time together will be extremely valuable. I cannot
wait to award another room 19 classmate who continually shows effort.
A look at next week…
Spalding
That
last phonograms will be introduced and reviewed, how exciting! I encourage you to look over the review work
from the week that is usually stapled to the graded spelling test. If the
students crossed a phonogram out and rewrote it this means they need more
practice with that specific one. If you need phonogram cards or would like to
order a set for you child use the link below. The students will be using them
through 6th grade, it would be a worthwhile investment.
Reading
As
a class we will sort fiction and non-fiction examples as we have been exposed
to both. As we progress through the week
we will be reading various Aesop’s fables and identify fable elements such as
moral, problem, solution, and plot. How fun these stories are!
Math
I
was very impressed with the odd and even and greater than/ less than
assessment. This shows me that our number sense is strong and we can recognize
patterns and place value. The students
loved our math skill(s) this past week.
Next week we are going to touch base on skip counting again, up to 200
and at any point in our number line. The week will start skip counting using
number charts and transition to memorization.
In first grade they are expected to skip count by 2s, 5s, and 10s.
Science
We
read some very interesting facts about the skeletal system, they enjoyed the
movements and readings to help make connections. Our skeletal system will continue with a fun project
as we make cotton swab skeletons to show the parts of the human body.
History
The
last and final monument will be Mount Rushmore.
We will be sorting facts and opinions about this national symbol. This
will wrap up our American symbols unit.
Have
a wonderful weekend, stay cool!
Ms.
Reger
