This Tuesday will be parent conferences. Please note that instead of individual conferences, I will be holding an informational session about the report card. The session will last about 20 minutes and will be held at 4:00 and again at 5:00. As I stated in the letter sent home earlier this week, I do not have time to have an extended conference for every student in the 2 hour time frame on Tuesday, November 2, so I will see any parents after the information session that I am able for a few minutes to answer any particular questions or concerns you may have. After report cards are sent home, conferences will be set up on an as needed basis. Report cards will be sent home on Friday, November 5.
This week in phonics we will be working on the letter Nn. Show and tell will resume on Friday. Please send in any object beginning with the “Nn” sound. Also, today the first word list. Please review the word list as part of the daily homework. The word list will be tested each Friday.
In math, we are continuing working on attributes of shapes. We have discussed triangles, squares, circles, and rectangles and review the number of sides and corners. We have grouped shapes by color, size, and shape. We will also be working with the numbers 1-10. We will put the numbers in order and learn to count backwards. We will also practice identifying a missing number in a set of ten numbers.
In reading, we have finished unit 1 and will begin unit 2 stories. Our first story in this unit is “Life in an Ocean”. The theme of all of unit 2 stories will be animal homes and environments. The skills we will be reviewing and /or introducing are setting, sequence of a story, and main idea.
