Weekly What’s Up: November 20-24, 2017

I am looking forward to seeing everyone at Parent Teacher interviews this week.  I did my best to accommodate your first choice of time slot.  If something comes up and you are not able to come in during your time slot, please let me know and we can look at rescheduling.  Mrs. Yerxa has a copy of the appointment times so if something comes up last minute on Thursday or Friday you can call the office.
Please read over your child’s report card with them so they can reflect on their learning with you.  Ask them what they are proud of (wows) and what they think they can work at doing better (wishes).  Fill out the comment page and return it in your child’s envelope.  The report card is yours to keep.  If you would like to have an additional copy for another parent, please let me know.
Literacy:   Please remember to record the title of the book your child reads each night on their calendar page.  We loved having Mrs. Burnett come in and teach us about Words Their Way.  We worked on the same sort as a whole class to practice.  Next week students will get their individualized words to work with.  I will explain more about the program during Parent Teacher.
Math:  This week’s numbers of the day will be 52-55.  
We are continuing to practice our doubles facts and naming and making 2D shapes.  You can practice doubles by rolling a die or selecting a card from a deck and asking your child to double the number.  They should be able to tell you that “The double of 2 is 2+2=4”.  As doubles are a mental math strategy the goal is for them to answer quickly without using counting strategies (fingers, counting on, counters).
You and Your World:  You will see our growth mindset attitude on display in the classroom.
