A NEW WAY TO READ AT HOME We are totally stoked about the read-a-thon! Folders for tracking minutes the students read will come home today. Please help your child set a specific goal for how many minutes to read each day (more than normal) and remember to write down minutes and SEND THE FOLDER TO SCHOOL EACH DAY NEXT WEEK. If our class reads the most minutes on any day, there will be prizes, and of course I also get to wear a shiny cape all day...and you know we all want that. Thanks in advance for your help! In an effort to read a lot, I wanted to share with you a website that our class uses for online reading where each child has a login and books that are specifically on his/her independent reading level. Your child should know how to use this site, but here are the details:
LEARNING MORE ABOUT SCHOOL WORKERS This week we toured the school and made a map to show where everyone in our school works. We also interviewed Ms. Susie in the front office, and Mrs. Nation from the library. Mrs. Nation is out on maternity leave, so we got to do a video interview, which was a new learning experience for most of us! TENS AND ONES
We have done so much work with teen numbers and understanding that each teen number is made of one set of ten and some extra ones. Write down some teen numbers and ask your child to tell you what they mean (in tens and ones) to check for his/her understanding. Last week we made these math monsters with partners to work on teen quantities....and to have a little fun.
