A few notes:
Thank you families for being helpful and supportive during our online lessons. I know it is not ideal but we are doing the very best we can. It is so nice to see students working hard on the other end of devices. Also, we are SO impressed with the organization that has taken place at home when using packets and school supplies. THANK YOU for everything you do to support your child!
Come Tuesday please be sure your child brings their school supplies, ziplock with all packets, and Little Bear book (if ordered).
Your child will only need to bring in their devices on FRIDAY. Thanks! They are very heavy and take lots of room in backpacks.
Please have your child bring their charged devices every Friday. If they are plugged in prior to leaving for school they will have enough battery juice to last for our morning activities. Thanks!
The students will continue to work from the papers sent home in the bags before break, please do not lose and send to school as well. THANK YOU!
What a nice time it has been meeting with you all this week. We had the opportunity to talk with all of our room 6 families this week.
Owl at Home week is coming up… We are ready to jump into some small chapter books, WOOHOO! I have a copy I will be reading from to the class. In the past my students have loved to have their own copies to read from. This is not required but if your child would like a copy of their own please use the link to order. These are classic books that never get old. Amazon is a great resource as books are as little as $4.95. You may send them in with your child at any time prior to us reading them, they can safely stay in cubbies until it is time for them.
Order Owl at Home Here: https://www.amazon.com/Owl-Home-Can-Read-Level/dp/0064440346/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Owl+at+Home&qid=1610054397&sr=8-1
For the month of January we will be working on the Core Value of ORGANIZATION! It is the perfect time of year to think about how and where we place things to make the days as efficient as possible. I am looking for students to place things back where they belong, take their time doing things slowly and neatly, and to have work spaces that allow to focus on the task at hand.
A Look at Next Week:
ELA
What fun snow has been! Next week we will start our first chapter book, Little Bear’s Friend. Prior to reading we will learn about various parts of a chapter book including the table of contents. Following each chapter the students will complete a think and respond and have a chance to journal about their own experiences that are similar to Little Bear’s. We cannot wait to hear the students read and follow along next week!
MATH
Addition without regrouping and also starting addition with regrouping. We are so excited to start a new unit, using our understanding of place value to add some pretty large numbers.
SCIENCE
We will continue with weather and our planet following parent teacher conference week.
SOCIAL STUDIES
We will start our maps unit, finally using those fun foldable lap books!
Thank you families for reading! Have a wonderful 3 day weekend!
Ms. Reger and Mrs. Rodriguez
