First Post/Second Week of School

Post date: Sep 12, 2016 7:6:40 PM

Dear Families,

We are starting the second week of school, but this is my official first post. I don't know when it will be connected correctly to the OLE webpage. We/I need to be patient.

This week in Reading we continue to work on stamina - sustaining our reading for longer and longer periods of time. Our goal is 20 minutes of sustained reading. While working on that we are focusing on asking and answering questions about our reading. This week we are looking at more non-fiction text with those goals. By the end of the week we will be starting to read with a partner.

In math we are working on recognizing our coins, knowing their value and counting groups of coins together. For Homework this week, please show your child a coin and have them tell you what the coin is and it's value (Monday) and then have them start counting small numbers of coins starting easy and working to more difficult combinations (Wednesday). This is working us toward our first Payday on Friday.

Looking forward to a good week.

Deborah Johnson
