Our week at a glance

A look at our learning...

Fundations: we learned the name, sound and correct letter formation for the lowercase x and y.  We will not introduce new letters until after Thanksgiving break.

Please use the following verbal prompts when practicing at home:

x-slant down, slant down

y-slant down, slant dow...n

Shared Reading: we learned a few Thanksgiving poems that featured our new word wall words on and we: Turkey, Turkey and I'm a little Indian. Ask your child to sing these songs to you! We also read the books The Sandwich and We Make Cookies.

 We will not introduce new word wall words until after Thanksgiving break.

Please continue to practice reading and writing our current word wall words with your child next week, especially ones they miss on their weekly test.

Math: check your child's Friday Folder for worksheets to reinforce this week's learning at home.  Book 2 of the "math at home" booklets are also in their folders. These are for you to use and keep at home.  We have also included directions on how your child can access Everyday math games at home on a tablet or computer.  They haven't learned how to do this at school yet, but will begin learning on their next Media Center day (the Monday after Thanksgiving break.)

Makerspace Friday: today we visited Mrs. Fitch in the library for an hour for Makerspace time.  The children were able to explore various STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) activities.  They had a blast and these would make great Christmas ideas!
