I have begun testing for Progress Reports and the students are doing great! The only concern I have is completing the questions. For example: in Math a lot of the questions are 2-part ones and the students only complete the first half of the question. in Reading/ Writing it's remembering all the writing rules and applying them. The students can tell me "Use uppercase letters at the beginning of the sentences, stretch unknown words and write all the sounds you hear", but completing the steps is tricky. So practice and I know everyone will continue to excel!!
Our Resources for the week are: Monday:MUSIC, Tuesday:COMPUTER LAB and Thursday:ART. On Wednesday, Mrs. Noah Thomas will be stopping by for a Library Lesson. :) Friday is School Spirit Day~ make sure to deck out in Blue and Yellow. Even with sunglasses or a hat too!! Show all your school spirit!! Gabriel will be bringing in Fun Friday Snacks.
MATH
We are continuing to break up the teen numbers the Say 10 Way and getting ready to count to 100 the Say 10 Way. For example: we have been breaking up the teen numbers as a group of 10 and ___ more. Now we will learn how to skip count the Say 10 Way. Get Ready!!
10= 1Ten
20= 2Tens
30=3Tens
40=4Tens, etc.
I wasn't able to find a Say 10 Way of counting video, but Jack Hartmann revamped his counting to 100's by 1 and I thought the class would enjoy it!
SAXON, SIGHT WORDS, BLENDS & MORE!
In Saxon we are continuing to stretch words for beginning, middle and end sounds. Then we are discussing the Combination sound of qu as /kw/. Next week the students will learn to code a combination by putting an arc below the two letters. We are also completing the decodable reader Spin to Win. (This is a reading challenge book AND can be written down on the Reading Log three times because that's how many times it needs to be read for a challenge. :)
Our Sight Words are: them, were, other & first. **If your child has already read 80 sight words, I will not be testing them again before Progress Report time. So continue to practice and know that they will be tested for their total number of Sight Words before Report Card time. If you have any questions about this, please email me.)
Our blend is gr- and our Word Family is -ump. Plus we will be working on short and long u sounds.
READING
We are continuing with Eric Carle! We will work on retelling with the story The Tiny Seed. Then we will work on figuring out the meaning of unknown words with the story The Grouchy Ladybug. On Friday the students will have a Comprehension Check~ so review the stories with your child.
WRITING
We are finishing up our Animal Report Books with Zebras. The students have done an amazing job!! They have used their research to write great sentence facts and I've noticed better writing as we have progressed through the animals.
On Thursday the students will each get a turn reading about one of their animals to the class. Then on Friday we are discussing Memory Books and what we should add to our Kindergarten one. :)
