We will review material we have learned so far this year. We will discuss shapes in various Christmas decorations. We will review numbers 0-100 and identify the tens and ones place. We will even play a subtraction game where presents are falling off Santa's sleigh!
We will have History this week.
In History this week, we will continue to learn about how Christmas is celebrated around the world! Your scholars and teachers have enjoyed all the fun things we have learned so far! So many neat traditions learned this week and fun activities were had.
We will individually test over "I do not mind you winter wind" Monday. The new poem for January is "Jack be Nimble". The saying is "Better safe than sorry."
We will recite as a class January 6th. You are welcome to come in the gym to watch them recite! Please make sure to park in the parking lot in front of the playground.
We will finish reading a few short Christmas stories this week as we gear up for the Christmas holidays!
Watch out for binders being sent home periodically. Please sign and return.
If you have any questions about the assessments please reach out!
Please look at the homework log in your child's red take home folder to see the homework for each day.
Your child is reading to you now! Do not worry about if your child finishes the book. Just set a timer for 30 minutes and put a bookmark in the book when the timer goes off. Please initial on the phonics readers list by the book you read so I know which book to send home next. Fridays will be for reading on Reading A-Z.
Don't forget to write in the reading log. The code is what question you pick from the list of questions and just write the answer your child told you.
A calendar will be sent in the red take home folder. Please look at your child's color daily and initial on it so I know you saw it. If the color is below green I will use a code to explain why. The codes are on the bottom of the calendar and explain the situation. If the child went home on red I will give you a call or email. If it becomes a recurring situation where the student goes home below green we will set up a meeting.
If homework is not completed by the morning it is due the child will start their day on yellow on the color chart.
