Posts: ​Weekly What’s Up: April 8-12, 2019

Thank you to
everyone who made the time to come to student led conferences last week.  I know it meant a lot to your children that
you cared about and celebrated their learning.


 

Please
remember to send an extra pair of socks and mitts with your child as I foresee
a lot of soggy recesses in the future. 
Students are also welcome to leave a change of clothes in the classroom.

 

Please remember
to complete the report card reflection page and return it in the report card
envelop as soon as possible.

 

Literacy:  Please continue to listen to your child read/read
to them each night.  When you are reading
with your child try stopping throughout the book to ask them questions about
what is happening, how they think the characters are feeling and if there are
words that they don’t understand.  We are
focusing on making personal connections to the story during our read alouds. 

 

We
are reviewing nouns, verbs and adjectives during word work. We are also
revisiting the long and short vowel sounds during mini lessons.

 

In
writing we are working on adding details to our writing using adjectives.  We want to paint a picture in the reader’s
head.  We are also working on editing our
writing pieces. 

 

Math:
 This week our
numbers will be 121-125.  You can ask
your child to show you the number as tens and ones, get them to skip count to
that number, make an addition or subtraction equation with that number as the
answer, etc. 

 

Some students are working on adding two digit numbers
while others are continuing to work on building their mental math strength with
sums to 20.  We are also practicing
subtraction strategies. In addition to finding the correct answer students
should also be able to explain their thinking and show the strategy they used.  We’re beginning to work on solving and writing
our own word problems.  We will continue
working on our measurement unit.  This
week we will be creating our bar and pictographs based on the data we collected
last week.

 

YAYW: We will be learning
about the life cycles of animals such as frogs, butterflies and birds and the
life cycles of plants.  We will also
continue learning about bees.  I am
looking to gather some examples of older technology to share during our unit on
changes in technology.  Things that I’m
looking for include: record player, Walkman, corded phone (rotary dial if
possible), film camera, etc.
