Week 9

Next week will be reviewing and assessing for the final time this nine weeks.  It is hard to believe we're already at the end of the nine weeks!  We will be taking a unit assessment in math on numbers zero to ten.  To help your child prepare for this assessment, please review these numbers to be sure they recognize the numbers and can count objects in this range.  We will not have new sight words this week to give us a chance to review and reassess.  If your child missed any sight words, letters, or letter sounds on the weekly assessments, we will be reassessing those this week so be sure to review them at home.  We will continue investigating changes we see during fall.  We will be writing about our findings.  Our wonder of the week will be:  Why do leaves change color in autumn?  Remember you can research and respond in the comments section.  We will be using Wonderopolis to search for an answer in class.  Help us investigate this question at home.  We had a visitor come to class on Tuesday to talk to us about seasonal changes.  She brought this bullfrog with her for us to see.
