We are moving forward in class and experiences many new and fun things! Remember to ask your children about their day and what they are studying!
Highlights from the Classroom:
Language Arts/Reading: DOL (Daily Oral Language), phonics (blending words, /ow/ and /ou/), handwriting, guided reading groups, Writer's Workshop, writing process, narrative writing, main idea and details, and special shared reading with our friends from third grade! we are also working with pronouns and introducing inferencing. We are also discussing character traits. Read a story with your child and have them describe a characters actions and appearance.
Math: Daily Math RAP (calendar, months of the year, days of the week, odd/even numbers, tally marks, counting money, tens/ones, number of the day - making addition and subtraction sentences, base ten blocks, less than/greater than, 100-chart, daily number work). We have also added math work in the mornings! The students are practicing math and problem solving through out the day! We have started working with money! Please allow your children to count your spare change and quiz them on their pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. We will be introducing dollar bills in the coming week! Money is a very important subject for our students and they need to be practicing at school and at home.
Science, Health, Social Studies: Currently we are learning about maps and globes. In addition, we are learning the seven continents! To help learn the continents, the students were taught a new song. Please ask your child to sing the song and review the continents with them. They were given the words to the song so you can sing along too! We will also be talking about North America. This will include it's location on the earth, the location of Georgia, and the different landforms found in our country.
Accelerated Reader (AR): We are working on our new AR goals! Please make sure you child is reading every night. If your child needs to take care of any business with the library, please do so ASAP! They can not check out books until all overdue books are returned and fines are paid.
Mrs. Dudley our counselor came and spoke with us about random acts of kindness. Please talk with your children about this important topic.
