Week of Feb 5

Monday is the 100th DAY OF SCHOOL!!!

Is anyone else in shock as much as we are? It's hard to believe we have spent 100 days with your babies!! :) 

Well this week is a SUPER fun and busy week. Monday our day is focused 100% on the 100th day. We have lots of fun counting activities planned and we hope to be teaching "old people!!" haha We'll be sure to take picture of the 100 year old students. 

Our Resources for the week are listed on the monthly calendar and the weekly conduct sheet. One thing we would like to mention is PLEASE make sure your child wears sneakers on days they have P.E. and make sure on Monday, February 12 they are wearing sneakers for Jump Rope for Heart. This week Makayla will be joining the 6 year-old-club and on Friday we are celebrating SOCKS DAY!! Shoes will be coming off and the students will be giggling! Also, Friday Sophia will be bringing in Fun Friday Snacks. 

MATH
We will be reviewing our Math test on More, Less and Enough. We will be comparing measurement attributes. Then we will focus on Math skills~ addition & subtraction within 5 and number writing. We are taking our number writing test this week, so make sure your child is practicing!

READING

We are listening to stories about Kings and Queens! The students have been great giving prior knowledge they have about Royals due to Disney and Pixar movies they've watched. They have doe great listening to the vocabulary and using picture clues to help explain what the words mean. This week we listen to versions of Princess and the Pea, Cinderella and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. (Click on the title to read Cinderella or Snow White to your child.)

On Friday we will be taking a smiley face/ sad face test about Kings and Queens. This is our first time taking a version of a True and False test. We are confident the students will do great!!

SAXON, SIGHT WORDS, BLENDS, WORD FAMILIES and MORE!!

Saxon introduced the C/K rule and the students are enjoying figuring out which letter to use based off of the rule. It's great!! Make sure to check out the Saxon papers that go home, a few list the rule on them. 

Our Sight words for the week are-

We are working on these blends-

Our word family is the -am family. Check out the Jack Hartmann video and get some practice in with your child!

PLUS don't forget to work on ending sounds and rhyming. We;ve noticed issues with ending sounds do to students continually giving beginning sounds of words. Also, uppercase letter writing. Practice so that your child does great!!

WRITING

We will be completing a writing grade this week for Progress Reports. Make sure your child is able to use their sight words and sounds with ease. They will be expected to draw a picture and write a sentence that matches it.  Remind them that they can look at their word wall in the classroom to find the correct spellings of sight words and figure out letters that match the sounds they make.
