September 12-16, 2016 Week 4

Hello everyone! I hope that all had a fantastic weekend! I had a great weekend because I got to keep my new little grandson "Kash!" He is now 7 weeks old and amazes me every time I see him. I have to share a picture of him. He is my LOVE!

We had a busy last week and because of that we will continue our same reading story and reading skills.

Our story is "Pig in a Wig." We will blend and read short i words; identify the plot of a story; identify subjects of a sentence; learn abc order to the first letter; read consonant x/ks/ words; and practice daily Saxon Phonics to build letter sound fluency and word reading knowledge.

In Math we will continue to compose and decompose numbers up to 20. We will use our tens and ones rods, cubes, and beans to help understand this skill.

In Science we will learn more about the weather. We will discuss types of weather patterns and make a wind sock.

In Social Studies we will discuss leaders and how they make rules for our community.

September 5-9, 2016 Week 2

Happy Labor Day! I hope everyone has a fun weekend. This will be a short busy 4 day week for us in class. We will be working hard to cover new skills.

We will read "Pig in a Wig" in our textbook. It is a make-believe story about animal fantasy. We will blend and read short i words; identify the plot which is the beginning, middle, end of a story; identify the subjects of sentences (nouns); learn abc order to the first letter; make short i rhyming words; and practice daily Saxon Phonics.

*Amazing Words will be discussed during the week to build oral vocabulary. Please discuss meaning at home as well.

In math we will read, write and count numbers to 20. We will use counters to compose and decompose numbers up to 20.

In Science we will continue our study of weather. Last week we made a weather mobile, thermometer, rain gauge, and wind vane. We discussed how a thermometer is used to measure how hot or cold something is, a wind vane is used to track the direction of the wind, and a rain gauge tells how much it has rained. We learned the word Meteorologist!

In Social Studies we will learn about chronological time and "time order" words. We will discuss terms "yesterday, today, tomorrow" and relate them to "past, present, future.

Fun Friday Activities!

DOJO Table Winners!

Lunch in the ArboREADum!

Look who dropped in to eat with us!!!

Hey Everyone! I hope you are enjoying your summer break so far. I am teaching summer school for three weeks so my summer vacation will start in July. I am missing you guys already and remembering the great year we all had together. Sending you lots of forget me not hugs!

Here are some of our last week's events...

We went to CHS to plant trees! Years from now when we're in high school we can see how much the trees have grown! AND we'll be bigger too!
