We did a lot of review on the rules of the classroom, cafeteria, hallway, gym and bathroom/water fountains! I am so happy to have all of the students that I have. I know this year will be great and we will learn a lot!
Math
We are going to be reviewing numbers throughout this week and reviewing what they learned in kindergarten. I will be assessing what we need to review again so that our foundations are strong before we begin anything new.
Handwriting/Spelling
We will be reviewing all letters and the way we write those letters. As we begin practicing those letters, we will also be reviewing each letter sound to be sure we have the strength of the phonics portion in place before we begin our spelling units!
Phonics
We will have a color of the week and we will be practicing handwriting and spelling while reviewing all of our colors. Your child will participate in a daily activity that includes the color of the week. Our color this week is RED! If possible please have your child wear red so that we can be surrounded by our color throughout the week!
Reading
We will begin to introduce the idea of reading to self. There will be several activities that the students can participate in during our reading portion of the day in which they will learn ways to read to themself! Your child will help make a chart that will be displayed in the classroom on how they can read to self.
Science/Social Studies
We will continue to focus on ways to be friends inside the classroom and throughout the year. Your child has been working on a cafeteria expectation lunch box and will begin working on a friendship book.
Star of the Week
At the end of the week, the student with the most "Caught Being Good" tickets will be able to be the star of the week the following week. The star of the week entails a bulletin board that displays pictures of the student that will be brought from home and different cool facts about that student. They will make a "Star of the Week" book and the class will help write this book, as well!
This week the students will be able to check out books on Thursday, we should have a lot of fun!!
If there are any sheets that need to be signed by parents/guardians, please remember to turn those in next week.
I will see everyone on Monday morning ready to learn!!
