Tomorrow, Friday Feb. 24, is Dessert Day!! Each student who purchases a school lunch will receive a mini ice cream sandwich!!
Art Club
I know we had a lot of students sign up for the Art Club that starts next week, but only 5 kids from our class were chosen. If your child was one of those five, there will be a note in his/her folder today. If you do not have a note, please be sure your child understands that he/she will not be staying after school next week for art club. Thanks!
Math
Today in math we worked on number combinations and numbers that add to 10. We had 10 beads on a pipe cleaner and moved them on different sides. Then we recorded a couple of our number sentences in our math journals. Your child is bringing their bead string home today. They will need it to do their homework-math home link paper! Then they can keep this at home.
Sight Words
The sight words for this week are: three, four, five. There are no new sight words next week. Instead, we will be using the next two weeks to review all the 3rd quarter sight words before report cards. The grading period ends March 3rd!
Speaking of that, report cards for the 3rd 9 weeks will come home March 9th.
Writer's Workshop
This week in Writer's Workshop I introduced 5 new posters on our writing wall to help students remember the 5 parts of a great sentence. They are:
- capital letter at beginning of sentence
- lower case letters throughout sentence
- sight words spelled correctly
- finger spaces between words
- correct punctuation at end of sentence
As students are writing, if they remember all 5 on their own without my help, they have started getting a sticker on their notebook page. I know a sticker doesn't sound like much, but they LOVE it! It's great motivation for them to write their sentences correctly. As you watch your child write at home, please help them remember the 5 parts of a great sentence.
