Family Member Picture
I will be teaching trait inheritance in October and would love to relate this concept to students real lives. If possible, please send in a picture of a parent or other family member (aunt, cousin, sibling) from when they were younger. Please label the envelope with your child's name so that I can return the picture to you. Please do not show your student the picture. We have a great time showing the pictures and matching them to a student in the class. Please send in pictures by Oct. 9. Thank you!
Walk to School Day
Walk to school day is Wednesday, Oct. 2. We start at the North Solerno or Eastwind parks at 7:30 am. Please see the flyer above for more information.
Prodigy Math Program
This week students were introduced to the prodigy math program during math centers. In yellow folders today is a flyer on how they can access this program from home. Let me know if you have any questions.
Xtra Math
Last week I introduced students to Xtra math. This is a great math fact program that I use in the classroom during math centers. Students are also able to access this program at home. Today, in yellow folders, I am sending home a flyer that explains how to get on the program from home. While it is not required, I encourage students to utilize this program to practice addition math facts. Let me know if you have any questions.
Next Week In Reading
Phonics/Phonemic Awareness: short a
Comprehension: Identify the main topic and retell key details of a text.
Spelling words: an, back, can, had, cat, rack
FRY words: when, your, can, said, there, use, each
Vocabulary: figure, tossed, clang, fault, plenty, jumbled *these are enrichment words and are not on the spelling test.
Next Week In Math
This week we will continue to practice the near doubles strategy. This strategy is used when a math fact is one away from a doubles fact. For example, 6+6=12, so 6+7=13 or 6+6=12, so 6+5=11. I will also expose them to the doubles plus two strategy or "monkey in the middle". This is when you have a near doubles that is two numbers away from each other. To solve these you take the number in the middle and double it to find the answer. For example, 3+5=8, 4 is the middle number and if I double it makes 8. I will not test on doubles plus two. Our test at the end of the week will only be on near doubles.
