Week 10

Upcoming events:
Oct. 19:  book fair visit for our class
Oct 20 & 22:  parent teacher conferences, be sure to sign up online
Remember Disney items for our fall festival basket
Oct. 23:  no school for students
Oct. 29: fall festival

What are we learning this week?
Sight words:  red, yellow, blue
Reading:  main idea
Reading Strategy:  make the first letter sound, use your fish lips to say the first letter sound
Writing:  I write one word for each word I say.
Science:  fall season
Math: numbers 0-18

How can you help at home? 
Review any areas missed on the report card sent home at conferences.
Practice sight words & read 100 Book Challenge each night.  
Need a new way to practice sight words?  Let your child spell them and read them using play dough.
Review numbers to 18 by writing them and counting objects in sets 0-18.
Look for and talk about signs of fall.  How do you know that it is fall?  What signs do you see?
Reading:  identify the main idea while reading.
Writing:  practice writing simple sentences.  Be sure to write one word for each word you want to say on your paper.  Here is an example of what we typically see in student writing:  Students often say "I see a frog." is written on their paper, but they have only written "frog."  They do not realize they must have one written word to match each spoken word.

Week 10

I look forward to meeting with each of you this week for parent teacher conferences.  We will have our annual fall festival on Thursday night.  Please remember to send in items for our Little Diva basket.   Also remember that this is book fair week and there will be no school on Friday.  We will be continuing our study of fall in reading, writing, and science.  We will begin numbers in the teens in math.
