Guided Reading

This week in Guided Reading your child has been working on the reading skill of sequencing. Using signal words such as first, then, next, and after, your child has been listing series of events. The students enjoyed listening to Jack & the Beanstalk and The Polar Express and then doing a sequencing activity with both of these stories. Please remember to sign your child's yellow reading sheet each night.

Wrapping Paper

Our class could still use any extra Christmas wrapping paper that you may have at home. Thanks in advance!

Mrs. Schneider's Math Class

In math students have been working with pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half-dollars. Throughout the week students were given a collection of coins to count and using various coins students demonstrated ways to show the same amount of money. Time was also spent counting money using $1.00 bills.

Writing

In writing this week our class spent time learning about adverbs ending in ly, commas used when listing a series of objects, and your child worked on editing their personal narrative.

Phonics

In phonics your child sorted words containing oy and oi.  Your child also worked on fluency by reading several short passages that contained words that had the spelling pattern oy or oi within them.
