I am looking forward to our first full week of school! We have been practicing our rules and expectations in the classroom. We have also been practicing getting to know our classmates. This week we will be practicing getting into a routine of all the different procedures we are learning.
In Reading, we are practicing our stamina in both reading and writing. We are up to a little more than 16 minutes of stamina for read to self, and we started stamina in writing today and made it a whopping 1 minute and 45 seconds! I am sure by the end of the week we will be seeing huge improvements!
In Math we started our math timings, which we will be doing every day. We are also working on writing our numbers up to 1,000 as well as reviewing time, money and number sense - such as odds and evens and counting by 2's, 5's and 10's.
In Writing we will be learning and practicing the 5 different parts of a friendly letter as well as learning about the writing process.
In Science we have planted our pea plants and examined a lima bean. We are learning all the different parts of a plant and learning about life cycles.
We are extremely busy in Room 26! Make sure to ask your child about everything he/she is learning!
