Dear Families,
We are ALL enjoying the spring-like temperatures for recess!! We are sending ALL snow clothes home in hopes that we do not need them again this year!!
ELA
This week during skills, we reviewed the digraphs - th sh ch qu and ng. We read words with these digraphs, wrote words with these digraphs and used our chaining folders to make words with these digraphs. Be sure to ask us to write and read some of these words for you at home, too! We continue reviewing our letter sounds, tricky words, and practicing segmenting and blending. This week we added 2 new tricky words to our list - out and of.
This week we focused on the story Just Going To The Dentist by Mercer Mayer. While listening to the story, we worked on the strategies of predicting, retelling, inferring, making connections and stating our opinions. Be sure to ask your child his/her favorite part!
Our 2 vocabulary words were numb and cavity. Be sure to ask us what they mean!
We had fun playing a Presidents themed game of Tic Tac Toe to practice reading words with digraphs and /qu/ sounds! Ask your child to read the words and tell you who won our game!
We hope you enjoyed listening to our poem this week! We loved learning about the different presidents on each coin!
Math
This week in math we continued working with shapes. We found out that we can make larger shapes from smaller shapes. Take a peek at our class "Shoo Fly" quilt. Students also noticed what special qualities our quilt had. We also continue to count and compare quantities. At home, you could ask us to count by 10's to 100 or count by 1's to 100. If we can do both of those...ask us to count starting at 48 or 62 to 100 - we need lots of practice with these skills!
*Next week is Read Across America week! Be sure to check out the special dress days in the Thursday folder.
* Friday, March 1st is an Early Release Day for students.
*Saturday, March 16th is the Thorson Carnival.
Have a wonderful weekend!
💛💚Mrs. Neuville and Mrs. Rocky
