The Week Ahead
A friendly reminder that we will only have two in person school days this week (Monday and Tuesday). Wednesday will be a regular remote/synchronous day where we will meet as a class at 8:30am. Thursday will be a considered an asynchronous school day, meaning I will send home work for your child to complete but there will be no class meeting. Friday is a day of low attendance and the school will be closed. Full in person learning will begin on Monday, April 5th. Please be on the lookout for information about how this will impact our classroom. I will be sending home a notice at the beginning of the week.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
Thank you so much to all of the parents who met with me for spring conferences last week. I really enjoyed chatting with each one of you! While there are no more formal conferences held this year, please never hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions or concerns about your child's progress in class. I am always more than happy to speak with you!
Curriculum Update:
Last Week's Sight Word: was
Writing
Last week we continued our unit on opinion writing. Over the past several week's your child has been sharing their opinions and persuading others by creating posters and books. During last week's lessons we learned how to write letters! We enjoy reading the books Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type and Can I Be Your Dog? to help us better understand how letters can be an effective way of sharing our opinions and convincing our audience!
Reader's Workshop
Last week in Reader's Workshop we continued to enjoy book playdates! We also began thinking about and interacting to nonfiction texts. This part of the unit has been a nice change of pace as the students really enjoy reading about real like topics and learning new facts and pieces of information.
The students above enjoy having a book playdate with a special furry friend!
Math
It was an exciting time in math last week as we began to explore our teen numbers using our base ten blocks! We learned that one rod or "train" is worth ten, and that every teen number has one group of ten and then "some more". We also used this fun chant to help strengthen our understanding of teen numbers using our new manipulatives!
Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon to see all that in new in Room 202!
