Hello!
This week students will be working on the following skills: HFW- see, yellow Letter/Phonics- Ss Vocabulary- feast, senses, kneads, finished, explore Grammar- plural nouns (common) Essential Question- How can your senses help you learn? Math- Ways to make the quantity of 5 Tuesday is TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY!!!! We will be continuing our Unit on Apples, culminating on Apple Day on September 29th. I have completed assessments and will preparing for Parent Conferences which will be held Sept 20-22 in the afternoon. These days will be early dismissal days for the entire campus. School will be out at 12. We will still serve lunch and have a snack. We began library last week so please look for library books to come home on Wednesdays. Please set up a safe place for these books and emphasize responsibility to the students. They need to understand it is THEIR responsibility- not yours (though I am sure you will be helping, lol). On library days, "My mom/dad forgot to pack my book" is the most common excuse and we try to gently remind the kiddos that you have enough to worry about. Their library books are their responsibility. If they do not return their book the following week, they will still get to go the library during our scheduled time, but they will not be able to check out a new book. Morning routine/turning in papers, $, items from home: In the morning, students hang their backpacks on our picket fence and place lunch boxes/snacks in the lunch bucket before they join their friends on the playground. At the bell, they line up. We enter the classroom and students move their name to indicate their lunch choice. The procedure is that after they move their name, they go back outside to get their water bottles/folders/items to give to the teacher/library books (if it is Wednesday). This helps eliminate the quagmire at the backpacks. Then, students find their seats. All throughout this process, I am typically repeating myself numerous times, "Now is the time to go back to get your water and folders or anything else you need to turn into me". On days like last Friday, I continue to repeat this and ask students again once they are ALL in their seats and I have their attention. Please help me by reminding your students that they need to turn in items when Ms. Williams asks for them. With 24 of them, I am not able to personally check every backpack but do my best to get them to turn in materials. Ways to help at home: Have students practice writing their names. Uppercase letters only for the first letter. Remind them to hold their pencils correctly. Play "Spill 5 pennies": shake/spill 5 pennies and count how many are heads and how many are tails. How many all together? Play a board game where kiddos have to count the squares they move (like Chutes and Ladders) or Connect Four- have them count their pieces and answer how many more to win?
