This week in literacy, we are examining how background knowledge helps us make connections to text and ultimately increase our comprehension. Check out the homework link. :) We also continue to explore similes and "qualities" of ourselves/our classmates. Routines and rituals of the classroom become clearer and clearer as we confidently embrace the learning environment with independence and care.
This week in Math we will be practicing our routines for Math groups and journals. We will be reviewing number sequences, coin values, calendars and clocks. We will be practicing our 'PROUD' behaviors during partner, group and individual work times.
Also, this week will kick off our 'Mad Minute' routine that will continue throughout the year. We take our minute tests on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Your child should practice their level for a few minutes each night in order to be ready. Each time they pass they get to move the monster they created in class along the fence in the classroom. We love celebrating their hard work and it is exciting to see how far they can go as we progress through out the year!
